Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia recently interviewed former FBI Director James Comey as part of a criminal investigation into his former deputy, Andrew McCabe.
The Washington Post reported the interview on Thursday night.
McCabe was accused by the Justice Department's inspector general in April of having lied to federal investigators and Comey on four occasions about improperly authorizing the disclosure of sensitive information to the media.
The inspector general, Michael Horowitz, referred the matter to the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office to determine whether McCabe should face criminal charges.
Lying to federal investigators can carry a prison sentence of up to five years.
