Earlier this week, former Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe, revealed that the US intelligence community had considered removing the US president from office in May 2017 after he unexpectedly fired the bureau’s then-director, James Comey.
Following the revelations by Andrew McCabe, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, promised he would hold a hearing on McCabe’s comments about a discussion to remove Trump, which he described as an “administrative coup”.
“So through good reporting by ’60 Minutes’, there’s an allegation by the acting FBI director at the time that the deputy attorney general was basically trying to do an administrative coup, take the president down to the 25th Amendment process. The deputy attorney general denies it. So I promise your viewers the following, that we will have a hearing about who’s telling the truth, what actually happened”, he told CBS, promising to do everything “to get to the bottom of the Department of Justice FBI behavior toward President Trump and his campaign”.
Two FBI lawyers in congressional testimony backed the statement that Deputy Attorney General for the US Department of Justice Rod Rosenstein considered secretly taping US President Donald Trump, Bloomberg reports.
