Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealed that he was the one behind the orders to start obstruction of justice and counterintelligence probes into President Trump's connections to Russia after meeting with him about his predecessor James B. Comey, who was fired.
"I was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage," Mr. McCabe said in an interview clip released Thursday.
Speaking to CBS's "60 Minutes," Mr. McCabe said that meeting with Mr. Trump "troubled me greatly," so Mr. McCabemet with the Russia investigators the next day. He wanted to ensure the investigations had a solid paper trail and documentation so they could never be tossed aside and wiped away.
"I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion," Mr. McCabe said. "That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace."
Mr. McCabe was later fired from the Justice Department.
According to CBS host Scott Pelley, who interviewed Mr. McCabe, the former acting FBI director also reaffirmed reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offered to wear a wire to record the president in meetings.
