Federal prosecutors in Washington are using a grand jury to investigate whether fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe purposely misled government officials over his role in an unauthorized disclosure to a newspaper in 2016, according to a report.
The grand jury, impaneled for months, has summoned more than one witness who may be required to testify if McCabe is charged and the matter goes to trial, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia declined to comment to the Post.
McCabe, a 21-year veteran of the FBI, was fired on March 16, two days before he planned to retire on his 50th birthday so he could collect a full pension.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions dismissed McCabe following the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General reporting "allegations of misconduct" by him to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility.
