WASHINGTON - Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said in an interview that aired Sunday that a “crime may have been committed” when President Donald Trump fired the head of the FBI and tried to publicly undermine an investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. “He explained to the president that he did not need Russia in his memo,” McCabe said. “Put together, these circumstances were articulable facts that indicated that a crime may have been committed,” McCabe said. McCabe said the remark was made during a conversation about why Trump had fired Comey. The Justice Department said in a statement that Rosenstein, based on his dealings with Trump, does not see cause to seek the removal of the president.
