Breaking on the WashPo.
McCabe, who had stepped down from his post earlier this year but remained an FBI employee, had been accused by the Justice Department’s inspector general of authorizing the disclosure of sensitive information to a reporter and misleading investigators when asked about it.
McCabe had been a lightning rod in the political battles surrounding the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe into whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian agents to interfere in the 2016 presidential race.
McCabe ran the FBI for three turbulent months last year, assuming the director’s job on an acting basis after James B. Comey was fired in May. McCabe was hoping to retire Sunday, when he becomes eligible for his full benefits. With his firing, he could lose a significant portion of those benefits.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

The NYT and the left are crying foul and blaming Trump but there is a Huge Problem pushing this narrative!

The "Huge Problem?"
Attorney General Eric Holder named Robin C. Ashton to run the Office of Professional Responsibility in 2011!
Not a Trump cheerleader I'm sure!
