According to a 2014 report by the Congressional Research Service, “there are no statutory conditions on the President’s authority to remove the FBI Director.” In other words, the President can indeed fire the FBI director. An FBI director can also be removed by congress, through the impeachment process.
They can be fired like any other minor Bureau leader. He isn’t even cabinet level and they can be fired at will.
Thank you. Can’t trust MSM.

Trump would not be the first president to fire an FBI Director before the end of the 10-year term. In 1993, then-President Bill Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions after a Justice Department ethics investigation found that he abused his office by failing to pay taxes on his use of an FBI vehicle and for billing the government for work done on his private home.
