Former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe authorized a leak to the Wall Street Journal to boost his profile and then lied about it to his boss and investigators, according to a damning report by the Inspector General of the Department of Justice.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe last month based on the findings of this report and the recommendation of the FBI’s disciplinary office. Inspector General Michael Horowitz, a Barack Obama appointee, released the report to the public on April 13 (pdf).
