Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is recalling the day former President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey and delivered a “manic rant” about the events that led to the appointment of a special counsel investigation.

As put by David Axelrod, a onetime Obama adviser who interviewed McCabe for his Axe Files podcast, the fateful decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was followed by McCabe being summoned to the Oval Office for a meeting that would define “his own stormy relationship” with Trump.
