Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lost his job for lying about authorizing disclosures to the press, including allegedly misleading former FBI Director James Comey. But although McCabe strenuously denies Comey’s version of events, he says he doesn’t doubt his credibility.

McCabe “does not hold a negative view of Mr. Comey’s credibility,” his spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz told the Washington Examiner. Schwartz said she has firsthand knowledge of McCabe’s opinion of Comey and is not assuming his views.
