Fmr. FBI Deputy Dir. Andrew McCabe filed a lawsuit against the Justice Dept. and his ex-employer arguing he was wrongly fired from the agency because he was not sufficiently loyal to President Trump.
, but had remained on the federal payroll and been planning to retire.
The lawsuit lists as defendants Attorney General William Barr, the Justice Department, FBI Director Christopher Wray and the FBI, although it says Trump was ultimately responsible for the decision to have McCabe fired. McCabe said in the lawsuit that Trump demanded his"personal allegiance" and “sought retaliation” when McCabe “refused to give it." He added that"Sessions, Wray, and others served as Trump’s personal enforcers rather than the nation’s highest law enforcement officials, catering to Trump’s unlawful whims instead of honoring their oaths to uphold the Constitution.”
In the lawsuit, McCabe said he “would have otherwise been permitted to retire as he had long planned,” if it “were not for Trump’s plan and scheme and the complicity of Defendants and other Executive Branch subordinates.” McCabe is seeking that his termination be voided and he be allowed to retire in good standing with his full pension and other benefits.
