FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe — who’s been under President Trump’s scrutiny for his leadership at the bureau — is stepping down, MSNBC reported.
The news comes about a month after the law enforcement veteran reportedly planned to retire in March, when he could get a full pension.
McCabe endured criticism from President Trump, who accused him of being biased because his wife ran for office in Virginia as a Democrat.
It wasn’t immediately clear when McCabe’s departure kicks in.
He briefly ran the FBI after Director James Comey was abruptly fired last May, steering the bureau until incumbent head Christopher Wray took over last summer.
This is a developing story. Check back for more updates.
