Trump Accuses McCabe, Rosenstein of 'Treasonous' Plot

Audio By Carbonatix

President Trump on Monday accused Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of pursuing an “illegal and treasonous” plot against him, after McCabe detailed private DOJ discussions about secretly recording and potentially ousting the president.

Fox News reports Trump’s comments come after McCabe revealed the discussions during a “60 Minutes” interview promoting his new book.

McCabe also claimed that Rosenstein was “absolutely serious” when he suggested recording Trump following James Comey's firing from the FBI.

On Twitter, Trump called McCabe a liar before lashing out at top DOJ and FBI officials, including ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, for what he described as a “deranged” plan.
