During his interview on "Kudlow" on Wednesday, former Vice President Mike Pence said he would fire FBI Director Christopher Wray on "day one" if elected to office.

The FBI operates like a 'ten-headed snake': whistleblower Garret O'Boyle
FBI line agent and whistleblower Garret O'Boyle says his attempt to expose intentional 'mishandling' of investigations has resulted in agency retaliation.
Wray was threatened with contempt of Congress by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., after failing to hand over a document tying then-Vice President Biden to an alleged bribery scheme.
But Comer called off the hearing on June 7 after accepting an offer from the FBI allowing the full committee of nearly 50 lawmakers to review the document and some related files.
However, the bureau continues to be at the helm of controversy following damning whistleblower testimonies, its handling of the Biden family business probe and the raid at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago.

As the former vice president lays out his efforts to rebuild the FBI’s integrity, he is also calling for the Department of Justice to handle Trump and Biden’s documents debacle equally.
"I want to see the Department of Justice bring equal vigor," Pence told the "Kudlow" host as Trump faces 37 charges in the classified documents case.
"Joe Biden not only has documents dating back to when he was vice president but when he was a United States senator," Pence stressed.
Robert K. Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, will serve as special counsel to investigate President Biden’s handling of classified documents.
