An aide to President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that the incoming administration will not select former Rep. Mike Rogers to be the next FBI director.

“Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening—in his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening,” Trump aide Dan Scavino wrote on social media platform X.
