Justice Dept. Rejects Andrew McCabe’s Bid to Avoid Charges
Lawyers for Mr. McCabe, who is being investigated over whether he lied to internal investigators about dealings with the news media, had argued that prosecutors lacked evidence to charge him. The lawyers detailed their position to top officials including
Jeffrey A. Rosen, the deputy attorney general, who ultimately rejected their view. His deputy,
Edward O’Callaghan, who was also present during the discussion, notified Mr. McCabe’s lawyers of the decision, one of the people said.
