Top FBI official Andrew McCabe has been "removed" from his post as deputy director, Fox News is told, leaving the bureau after months of conflict-of-interest complaints from Republicans including President Trump. “FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is, and has been, a dedicated public servant who has served this country well,” tweeted former Attorney General Eric Holder, who worked in the Obama administration and has become a frequent Trump critic. FBI DIRECTOR REPLACES COMEY-ERA CHIEF OF STAFFFBI Director Christopher Wray said last week that his chief of staff, James Rybicki, was leaving the bureau. “FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits,” Trump tweeted. The Washington Post last week reported that Trump, during an Oval Office meeting last spring, pressed McCabe, who was then acting FBI director, about whom he voted for in the 2016 election.
