Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe appeared on CNN to defend himself as he faces a possible indictment for misleading investigators.
Confronted with a clip of GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy affirming he will be indicted, McCabe struck a defiant tone and said he will not strike a deal with the Justice Department if one is offered.
"Absolutely not under any circumstances," he said. "I have said to you, I said from the very beginning, I absolutely reject that report because I never intentionally misled anyone about anything, and I will not stand up and claim that I've done something that I didn't do. So it won't happen."
It was McCabe's first interview addressing the allegations since being hired by CNN nearly a month ago as a paid contributor. He has been conspicuously absent from the air ever since, only days after being hired, it was reported federal prosecutors were close to making a final decision on whether to indict McCabe.
