Here’s Why The DOJ Watchdog Is Investigating Andrew McCabe

The Justice Department’s inspector general has been investigating whether former FBI Director Andrew McCabe tried to delay an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails until after the 2016 election, according to a new report.

The Washington Post reports that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is looking into why McCabe appears to have waited three weeks to inspect a laptop owned by Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide.

In a surprise move, McCabe stepped down from his position as FBI No. 2 on Monday. He will remain on leave until March when he can retire with a full pension.

McCabe’s sudden decision prompted widespread speculation that he had been forced out by President Trump. Trump has publicly criticized McCabe and other FBI officials over the past year.
