Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe could soon face an indictment after the Justice Department rejected his appeal to not pursue criminal charges for lying during an internal investigation.

An appeal from McCabe’s lawyers aimed to prevent a prosecution was rejected by Jeffrey Rosen, the deputy attorney general, two unnamed people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. It’s still unclear when federal prosecutors might announce charges.
