On Nov. 18, Grace Chong, the chief financial officer of Steve Bannon's "War Room," criticized Vance and Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio for missing a vote on outgoing President Joe Biden's controversial judicial nominee, Embry J. Kidd.
"You guys better show up and do your one fricken job!! @JDVance @marcorubio," Chong posted on X.
Vance sharply responded and called Chong a "mouth-breathing imbecile" before dropping the bombshell that he and Trump were busy interviewing candidates for key government positions, including the next FBI director.
"When this 11th Circuit vote happened, I was meeting with President Trump to interview for multiple positions for our government, including for FBI director. I tend to think it's more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45. But that's just me." Vance posted, along with the retweet of Chong's now-deleted post. (Related: Trump names Tulsi Gabbard to be the next Director of National Intelligence.)
Interviewing candidates for the FBI director role means replacing current FBI Director Christopher Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017, who is supposed to serve a 10-year term.
The tension between Wray and Trump over the years could affect this term. For instance, Trump has accused Wray of political bias, citing investigations like the Mar-a-Lago raid in 2022. Tensions escalated in July when Wray questioned the severity of the assassination attempt against Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
That incident led Trump to claim investigators neglected to examine his injury. Trump also accused Wray of lying to Congress about his views on the cognitive and physical fitness of Biden.
"Wray said that 'it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,' essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with 'Joe,'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI."
Trump argued at the time that "anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can't see that, you sure as hell can't be running the FBI."
Kash Patel, a former Pentagon official and author of Government Gangsters, could be a potential replacement after Trump praised his book as a "blueprint" for his second term. Patel advocates for a sweeping overhaul of the FBI and the Justice Department, including firing top leadership.
Another candidate could be Mike Rogers, a former Michigan congressman and House Intelligence Committee chair. Roger has an extensive experience in intelligence and national security.
