WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former top FBI official Andrew McCabe said he began an obstruction of justice and counterintelligence investigation involving U.S. President Donald Trump and his ties to Russia after Trump fired bureau Director James Comey in May 2017, CBS News reported on Thursday.
McCabe, who became acting director after Comey's firing, said he was disturbed by his conversation with Trump following Comey's dismissal and got the investigations started the following day, according to excerpts from an interview with "60 Minutes" to be broadcast on Sunday.
