Trump took to his favorite social media platform to respond to a report from the Justice Department regarding former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. The report accused McCabe, who was fired in March, of misleading investigators and providing information to the press without authorization, The New York Times reports.

When McCabe was dismissed just days before he was set to retire and receive a pension, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that it was in part due to his "lack of candor" under oath. McCabe disputes the accusations and says he was fired in order to undermine his credibility as a witness. The former FBI official was interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller about Trump's potential obstruction of justice in firing Comey.
