Justice Department Responds to McCabe's '60 Minutes' Interview: 'Inaccurate and Factually Incorrect'
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein again denied ever considering surreptitiously recording President Donald Trump in an effort to oust him after former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe accused him of the plot while on 60 Minutes.
Rosenstein’s office released the following statement in response:
“The Deputy Attorney General again rejects Mr. McCabe’s recitation of events as inaccurate and factually incorrect. The Deputy Attorney General never authorized any recording that Mr. McCabe references … There is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment, nor was the DAG in a position to consider invoking the 25th Amendment. Finally, the Deputy Attorney General never spoke to Mr. Comey about appointing a Special Counsel. The Deputy Attorney General in fact appointed Special Counsel Mueller, and directed that Mr. McCabe be removed from any participation in that investigation.”
The note concluded by highlighting McCabe’s alleged lies to FBI investigators.
