Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is planning to sue the Trump administration for defamation and wrongful termination.



McCabe’s lawyer Michael Bromwich told reporters that “We’ll file when we’re ready.”

The attorney also announced the launch of a legal defense fund for McCabe's legal costs.

Bromwich also accused Trump, of "continuing slander."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe last month after an inspector general report found he made an unauthorized disclosure to the media.

McCabe denied the allegations and said he was being targeted in an effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia's election interference.

The Justice Department released a report last week of McCabe's conduct at the FBI, alleging that he authorized a leak to the press.

Trump called the report a "disaster" for McCabe.

Horowitz issued a criminal referral to the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. on Thursday related to McCabe’s conduct that his attorney called "unjustified."

Wait, and see.
