McCabe: Trump's 'relentless attack' on FBI prompted memoir
By John Bowden - 02/18/19 09:00 AM EST
Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe says that President Trump's "relentless attack" on the FBI and the Justice Department was one of the reasons he penned his new memoir on his time at the agency.
In excerpts of an NPR "Morning Edition" interview obtained by Reuters, McCabe argued that Trump had begun undermining America's top law enforcement agencies in the early months of his presidency.
“I think the FBI has been under a relentless attack in the last two years,†McCabe says, according to Reuters.
Excerpts from the interview were released as Trump himself attacked McCabe on Twitter, accusing the former FBI deputy director of telling "so many lies" in his interviews promoting the book, “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terrorism and Trump," which releases this week.
