Trump and Vance secretly meet with FBI director candidates before 2025
A deleted social-media post shows Trump is already picking top officials for his possible next term. Future vice-president JD Vance skipped Senate duties to join interviews for FBI leadership
In a now-deleted social-media message JD Vance explained his recent Senate vote absence stating he was busy with more important matters: meeting Donald Trump to interview potential FBI director candidates
The future vice-presidents post revealed plans that werenʼt supposed to be public yet — the incoming administration is looking to replace Christopher Wray as FBI director (whoʼs been leading the bureau since 08/2017). The timing of this pre-transition planning shows Trumps eagerness to reshape key government positions
During the missed Senate session a judicial nominee put forward by Joe Biden got confirmed without Vances input. The future VP didnt seem too worried about missing the vote; instead focusing on what he saw as more crucial tasks: helping select top-level officials for their upcoming administration
The early search for FBI leadership — happening months before any potential inauguration — points to the Trump teams confidence in victory and its readiness to make swift changes in federal law-enforcement
