The Justice Department is close to deciding whether to indict Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director and newly minted CNN analyst, on charges of lying to the FBI during a media leak investigation.
The case is being handled by prosecutors in Washington, D.C. McCabe sued the Justice Department and FBI over his firing Aug. 8.
McCabe has claimed he did not lie to the FBI. He also claims he was fired due to political pressure from President Donald Trump.
CNN hired McCabe as a law enforcement analyst Friday.
A case against McCabe could face some headwinds, according to the Times' report.
In May 2017, after Trump fired James Comey as FBI director, McCabe authorized the FBI to investigate Trump for obstruction of justice.
McCabe also opened an investigationinto whether then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions committed perjury about Russia contacts during his Senate confirmation hearings.
