Lindsey Graham is demanding answers from the DOJ about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s allegation that top officials discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham is demanding answers from the Justice Department about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s explosive allegation that top officials there discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
McCabe was fired from the FBI last year a day before he was set to retire after DOJ’s internal watchdog alleged he had inappropriately allowed sensitive information to be shared with a reporter and lied to investigators.Sign Up In a “60 Minutes” interview, McCabe described Rosenstein’s suggestions, which the deputy attorney general has repeatedly and adamantly denied, in the context of the frenzied days after Trump abruptly fired Comey but insisted that while neither proposal went anywhere, Rosenstein was “absolutely serious” about his wiretap suggestion.
McCabe’s disclosure last month that Rosenstein reportedly mulled which Trump Cabinet members would vote to remove the president reignited the issue among conservatives and Trump himself, who seized on the allegations as proof of a “deep state” seeking to undermine Trump.
