The Justice Department said Friday that it will not pursue criminal charges against former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, closing a watchdog investigation into whether he leaked information to the media.
The department informed McCabe through a letter to his attorneys.
“After careful consideration, the government has decided not to pursue criminal charges against your client, Andrew G. McCabe, arising from the referral by the Office of the Inspector General," the letter stated.
McCabe said the decision not to lodge charges should have been made “a long, long time ago."
“It is an absolute disgrace that they took two years, and put my family through this experience for two years, before they finally drew the obvious conclusion," McCabe said on CNN, where he is contributor.
