CBS: Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe Feared Cover-Up Of Russia Probe
The ex-acting director of the bureau said he wanted to get the counterintelligence and obstruction inquiries on "solid ground" before a potential replacement could try to wash them away.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was afraid he would be fired and his replacement might attempt a cover-up to protect President Trump, he said in an interview recorded with CBS.
After then-FBI Director James Comey was fired, McCabe feared he would be next, he said in a clip released on Thursday.
He was asked if that was why the FBI began using counterintelligence resources to determine whether Trump might have been acting on behalf of Russia and whether the president might have broken the law
