Andrew McCabe’s acknowledgment of a discussion on the use of 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump is tantamount to a coup plot, according to constitutional scholar and former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.

By McCabe’s own admission, he and other top FBI and Justice Department officials discussed on May 2017 whether they could get a majority of Trump’s cabinet behind the idea to use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
