FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe was forced to step down on Monday, after FBI Director Christopher Wray raised concerns about an upcoming Justice Department inspector general report examining McCabe's and other senior officials' actions during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump had been increasingly vocal about his criticism of McCabe before his ouster.

McCabe served as the acting FBI director for a period of time in 2017 after Trump fired James Comey from the position. He began his career at the FBI in 1996.
