From Wikipedia:

William S. Sessions. William Steele Sessions (born May 27, 1930) is an American civil servant who served as a federal judge and fourth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sessions served as FBI director from 1987 to 1993, when he was dismissed by President Bill Clinton.

The only FBI Director ever fired, up to this point.
