Anyone have an idea why its taken Trump so long to name an FBI director? He seemed to have filled the majority of his cabinet quickly, yet he hasn't been in a rush to get this job filled. Just wondering.
Because Wray is the FBI director and could stay until 2027, so the position is technically not open. Trump will fire him or Wray will quit, and then he can actually appoint Kash.
Also - FBI director is not a cabinet position - serves under the AG.
From the White House site:
The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Attorney General.
There will be over 1,000 positions that require Senate confirmation - including the Cabinet positions, people like judges and US Attorneys, Ambassadors, etc.
