Donald Trump is planning on immediately firing FBI Director Christopher Wray, and also intends to replace CIA director Gina Haspel and Defense Secretary Mark Esper if he wins re-election next month, a new report suggests.

Each of their names are reportedly etched atop the president’s post-election execution list, which also includes a host of other senior officials, two White House sources told Axios.

Firing Wray, who has been in charge of the FBI since 2017, will reportedly be Trump’s first course of action, followed by the ousting of Haspel from the CIA.

The White House sources said that both Wray and Haspel are almost unanimously ‘despised and distrusted’ by Trump’s inner circle.

Trump reportedly would have fired them both already, one source said, had it not been for the looming November 3 election, and the political headaches that such motions can cause.

Trump was also said to be left furious at his second FBI chief for failing to purge more officials that he believes abused their power to investigate his 2016 election campaign’s alleged ties to Russia.

Additionally, Trump was reportedly aggrieved by testimony Wray offered to the Senate Homeland Security Committee last month, in which he stated the FBI has not seen widespread election fraud, including with mail-in ballots, contrary to Trump’s repeated claims.

While Trump appears less than satisfied with Wray’s FBI tenure, a senior FBI official told Axios that, ‘Major law enforcement associations representing current and former FBI agents as well as police and sheriff’s departments across the country have consistently expressed their full support of Director Wray’s leadership of the Bureau.’

As for Haspel, one source said the opinion among the West Wing is that she sees her job as ‘manipulating people and outcomes, the way she must have when she was working assets in the field.’

Such an assessment has reportedly ‘bred a lot of suspicion of her motives.’

Trump is also reportedly increasingly frustrated with Haspel for opposing Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s declassification of documents to assist in a review of the Obama administration’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.

But a source said Haspel may even step down from her post regardless of Trump’s apparent looming dismissal, and regardless of the outcome of the election.

‘Since the beginning of DNI’s push to declassify documents, and how strongly she feels about protecting sources connected to those materials, there have been rumblings around the agency that the director plans to depart the CIA regardless of who wins the election,’ a source told Axios.

Esper, meanwhile, was said to have fallen from the president’s favor over the summer when he rebuffed the idea of sending active-duty soldiers into the streets to combat racial injustice protests all over the country, spurred by the Memorial Day death of George Floyd.

The Defense secretary also reportedly aggravated the president when he sought to distance himself from any role in Trump’s controversial Lafayette Square photo-op in June, showing him holding up a bible in front of DC’s St. John’s Episcopal Church.

In the moments prior, law enforcement officers used tear gas and other riot control tactics to forcefully clear out protesters gathered on the square, and in the surrounding streets, so that Trump could walk from the White House to the church.

Esper also walked alongside the president, but later said he ‘didn’t know’ where he was going and never intended to participate in the photo-op.

‘I thought I was going to do two things: to see some damage and to talk to the troops,’ Esper told NBC at the time.

‘I didn’t know where I was going,’ he continued, adding he had ‘no idea’ about the plans to disperse protesters by force.

Speculation surrounding Esper’s forced departure from the top Pentagon position was aired on the side of caution, with one source telling Axios that others who are gunning for the Defense Secretary job may be peddling the rumors.

However, another source, who’s said to have mulled over potential candidates with Trump, confirmed his desire to fire Esper but said he urged the president to wait until after the election to do so.

In a statement, Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said that Esper ‘has always been and remains committed to doing what is best for the military and the Nation.’
