Report: Fired FBI deputy director McCabe gave Mueller secret memo on firing of Comey. Catherine Herridge has the details.
Ousted FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is seeking immunity in exchange for his testimony related to a Justice Department watchdog?s referral for possible prosecution, ahead of a congressional hearing on the handling of the Clinton email probe during the 2016 presidential election.
Michael Bromwich, an attorney representing McCabe, sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Tuesday requesting that McCabe be granted immunity in exchange for testimony surrounding the inspector general?s report that he leaked information and lied about it to former FBI director James Comey.
Bromwich told the senator, ?McCabe welcomes your invitation to testify and is eager to answer any questions that you or other members of the Committee have,? adding that because of his ?criminal referral? by the inspector general, he could face prosecution.
?We hereby request that the Judiciary Committee authorize a grant of use immunity to Mr. McCabe,? adding that the ?no testimony or other information provided by Mr. McCabe could be used against him in any criminal case.?
