Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe’s attorney slammed President Trump for consistently tweeting about his client’s firing at the hands of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“We will not be responding to each childish, defamatory, disgusting & false tweet by the President. The whole truth will come out in due course,” Michael Bromwich, McCabe’s attorney tweeted.
“But the tweets confirm that he has corrupted the entire process that led to Mr. McCabe’s termination and has rendered it illegitimate,” he added.

Trump tweeted about McCabe multiple times over the weekend, calling out his wife for ties to Hillary Clinton, alleging the memos Andrew McCabe reportedly kept about the president during his time as deputy director “fake memos,” and sarcastically calling him a “choirboy.”
In a statement released Friday night after his firing, McCabe said his ouster is part of an effort to discredit the FBI and the special counsel’s investigation.
“This attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally, but to taint the FBI, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally,” McCabe said. “It is part of this Administration’s ongoing war on the FBI and the efforts of the Special Counsel investigation, which continue to this day. Their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the Special Counsel’s work.”
