Andrew McCabe, the former acting director of the FBI, said the agency is in “utter disarray” amid an apparent purge of law enforcement agents, officials and other employees who worked on probes into President Trump.
McCabe joined CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday to discuss the state of play at the FBI, which has seen dozens of officials removed, including those who worked on Jan. 6 Capitol riot cases.
“I’ve talked to more FBI people in the last four days than I did in the prior four years,” said McCabe, who served as acting director in 2017, until Trump appointed Christopher Wray to the post.
“It is a place in utter disarray right now.”
In just a few weeks, the Trump administration has removed dozens of Department of Justice and FBI officials and thousands more are feared on the chopping block, given the sprawling nature of the investigations into Jan. 6 in particular.
