“I believe I was fired because I opened a case against the president of the United States,” McCabe said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS.
“I believe I was fired because I opened a case against the President of the United States,” says McCabe, who lost his job just a day before he would have been able to collect his full pension. He is considering suing the government over this. https://t.co/9oNEXZi0GR pic.twitter.com/MzmP4ej7XW

McCabe is referring to investigations launched by the FBI into whether Trump obstructed justice when firing then director James Comey and another investigation centered on if Trump was acting in collusion with the Russian government in the 2016 election.
