FBI Deputy Will Retire After Blistering GOP Attacks

“Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director who has been the target of Republican critics for more than a year, plans to retire in a few months when he becomes fully eligible for pension benefits, according to people familiar with the matter,” the Washington Post reports.

“McCabe spent hours in Congress this past week, facing questions behind closed doors from members of three committees. Republicans said they were dissatisfied with his answers; Democrats called it a partisan hounding. McCabe won’t become eligible for his full pension until early March. People close to him say he plans to retire as soon as he hits that mark.”
