House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., is being considered to serve as secretary of defense in a second Trump administration.

A source familiar with discussions told Fox News Digital Rogers has been contacted by the Trump transition team.

Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for comment.

Rogers was re-elected to a third term Tuesday after running unopposed.

Another potential candidate for defense secretary is Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., a retired Green Beret. In addition to serving in the military before joining Congress, Waltz was an adviser to defense secretaries Robert Gates and Donald Rumsfeld and spent time in the private sector as CEO of defense contractor Metis Solutions.

He sits on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees, in addition to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Mike Rogers may be a bad choice for anything in the Trump cabinet. He is one of the heads of the hydra in the censorship industrial complex.

Apparently, some think Rogers is being considered for FBI director, now that Hegseth got the Defense nod:

J Michael Waller
@JMichaelWaller
Chris Wray is the FBI's palace eunuch. He doesn't run the Bureau. The Bureau runs him.
Mike Rogers, at best, would be more of the same. He covered for Hillary on Benghazi, promoted the Russian collusion conspiracy theory, and is part of the surveillance-industrial complex.

Rogers reportedly is very pro-FISA.

Please, Pres. Trump - no role whatsoever for Mike Rogers, I implore you.

Andrew McCabe went on CNN last night and endorsed Mike Rogers for FBI Director - Tells you everything you need to know

 says, "Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI."

He adds, "It’s not happening."

"In his own words, 'I have never even given it a thought.' Not happening."
