Senior FBI Official McCabe To Face Closed-Door Grilling From House Lawmakers
FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is the latest leader to face the ire of Republicans who are angry about what they call bias at the highest levels of federal law enforcement.
Members of Congress have not made life easy for the leaders of the Justice Department this month — and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is next in line for some special attention on Tuesday.
McCabe is set to testify behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee as part its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
McCabe's appearance follows attacks by President Trump and Republican allies on him specifically, the FBI, the Justice Department and special counsel Robert Mueller, including accusations of political bias.
