The Justice Department has rejected an appeal in a case against Andrew McCabe, a former FBI official. A US attorney in DC recommended charges against McCabe, which his lawyers appealed, but the appeal was denied. Prosecutors may now seek an indictment. McCabe, often criticized by President Trump, is accused of lying about authorizing a leak regarding an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. His attorneys argue the charges are politically motivated, and McCabe denies any wrongdoing. He has also sued the FBI and Justice Department, claiming his firing was due to political pressure from Trump.
