Vice President-elect J.D. Vance has confirmed that he and President-elect Donald Trump are actively seeking to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is set to expire in 2027. Vance indicated that one of the primary qualifications for the new FBI director is the ability to dismantle what he referred to as the 'deep state.' Interviews for potential candidates took place recently at Mar-a-Lago, with Vance stating that they are interviewing individuals to fill the position. The transition team is reportedly moving quickly to ensure key nominees are confirmed. Vance is also expected to meet with senators on Capitol Hill later this week to discuss the upcoming administration's plans.
