“Andrew McCabe abruptly stepped down on Monday as the FBI’s deputy director after months of withering criticism from President Trump, telling friends he felt pressure from head of the bureau to leave,” the New York Times reports.
FBI director Christopher Wray “raised concerns about a forthcoming inspector general report examining the actions of Mr. McCabe and other senior F.B.I. officials during the 2016 presidential campaign… In that discussion… Mr. Wray suggested moving Mr. McCabe into another job, which would have been a demotion.”
