The Department of Justice said Friday that it has dropped its criminal investigation against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and will not press charges against him.
McCabe was being investigated by the DOJ regarding allegedly improper leaks he made to journalists related to an investigation into Hillary Clinton, and his claims to investigators about those leaks.
The DOJ’s internal watchdog concluded that McCabe “lacked candor, including under oath” when answering questions about the leaks.
