District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended moving forward with charges against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe as the Justice Department rejects a last-ditch appeal from the former top FBI official, a source familiar with the decision told SaraACarter.com.
Fox News first reported that McCabe’s legal team said they received an email from the Department of Justice which said, “The Department rejected your appeal of the United States Attorney’s Office’s decision in this matter. Any further inquiries should be directed to the United States Attorney’s Office.”
Attorney General William Barr appointed Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham to investigate the FBI’s role in the probe against President Donald Trump’s campaign. A source familiar with the decision, told SaraACarter.com “that the line prosecution and Jessie Liu decided to move forward with the charges.”
“McCabe and his team appealed the decision to the Deputy Attorney General and the DAG rejected the appeal,” the source stated.
According to the source, McCabe and his lawyers had multiple meetings with line prosecutors and also had a meeting with Jessie Liu’ in efforts to appeal the decision.
“It was extraordinary but an appropriate process,” the source familiar with the decision stated.
