Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records of communications between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe related to his book, The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump provided its report on allegations of misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility.
"Pursuant to Department Order 1202, and based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the Department's senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately."
As detailed in this report, the OIG found that then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions in connection with describing his role in connection with a disclosure to the WSJ , and that this conduct violated FBI Offense Codes 2.5 and 2.6.
On February 14, 2019, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit for all records of communication of McCabe, the Office of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, or the Office of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussing the 25th Amendment or presidential fitness.
In September 2017, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit on behalf of Jeffrey A. Danik, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, against the U.S. Department of Justice for records concerning McCabe.
Judicial Watch later filed two additional lawsuits over the FBI's failure to preserve text messages as federal records and for records of the audit of McCabe's communications.
In another FOIA lawsuit Judicial Watch made public Justice Department records showing that McCabe did not recuse himself from the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's unsecure, non-government email server until Tuesday, November 1, 2016, one week prior to the presidential election.
