President Trump has accused former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe and the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, of “illegally” attempting to remove him from the White House through coup-like means.

“Wow, so many lies by now disgraced acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired for lying, and now his story gets even more deranged. He and Rod Rosenstein, who was hired by Jeff Sessions (another beauty), look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught…..” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday morning.
