BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe apologized for lying to federal investigators concerning an October 2016 leak to The Wall Street Journal about the Hillary Clinton email probe, newly released transcripts indicate — underscoring McCabe’s legal jeopardy as U.S. Attorney John Durham continues the Justice Department’s criminal probe into bureau misconduct.
The transcripts specifically raised the possibility that McCabe, now works at CNN, could face a false statements charge similar to the one leveled against former national security adviser Michael Flynn. McCabe is now saying that he lied for the purpose to pad his resumé, to ensure he would be qualified to be hired as a commentator on CNN.
