Justice Department Closes Investigation Into Ex-FBI No. 2 Andrew McCabe
< < Go Back
The Justice Department has closed its investigation into former No. 2 FBI official Andrew McCabe without bringing charges, lawyers for Mr. McCabe said Friday, bringing to an end a controversial investigation into someone President Trump has repeatedly criticized.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington alerted Mr. McCabe’s counsel in a phone call and letter that conveyed the developments, his attorneys said.
The office had been examining whether Mr. McCabe, the former deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, misled investigators about his role in providing information related to an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in October 2016 to a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. Mr. McCabe has long disputed the allegations.
