Inspector general insists McCabe lied repeatedly after Biden DOJ reverses firing

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog stood by his determination that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied repeatedly during a criminal leak investigation after the agency under President Joe Biden reached a settlement last week reversing his firing .

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz appeared for a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday and stood by his report in 2018 detailing multiple instances in which McCabe “lacked candor” with FBI Director James Comey, FBI investigators, and inspector general investigators about his authorization to leak sensitive information to the Wall Street Journal that revealed the existence of an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
