Will McCabe Be Charged?

A new report claims that investigators from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., recently interviewed former FBI Director James Comey in relation to the Justice Department’s investigation of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horrowitz issued a criminal referral for McCabe in April — which led to his eventual firing — on the grounds that he intentionally misled DOJ officials on four separate occasions.

A source familiar with the investigation told the Washington Post the Comey interview indicates officials are seriously weighing criminal charges for McCabe, which are not guaranteed in a referral.

“A little more than a month ago, we confirmed that we had been advised that a criminal referral to the U.S. Attorney’s Office had been made regarding Mr. McCabe,” Michael Bromwich, McCabe’s attorney, told the Post when asked about the new revelations. “We said at that time that we were confident that, unless there is inappropriate pressure from high levels of the Administration, the U.S. Attorney’s Office would conclude that it should decline to prosecute. Our view has not changed.”
