President Trump reportedly told then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that he should ask his wife, who had lost a bid for political office in Virginia, how it felt to be a loser, NBC News reported Monday.
Trump made the remarks in a phone call to McCabe the day he fired FBI Director James Comey that was placed to demand why Comey was allowed to fly on a FBI plane from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., after being fired.
McCabe told Trump that he hadn’t been asked about the flight but that he would have authorized it if he had.
Trump fell silent before lashing out at McCabe and telling him to ask his wife what it felt like to be a loser, according to NBC. The FBI head replied, “OK, sir,” before Trump ended the call.
McCabe’s wife had run as a Democrat for state office in Virginia but had lost the race.
As part of that political bid, she accepted nearly $500,000 in donations from a super PAC linked to Hillary Clinton and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
Trump has repeatedly noted the link between McCabe and Clinton, and has criticized McCabe publicly over Twitter.
He also reportedly asked McCabe who he voted for during an introductory meeting in the Oval Office.
The new report comes the same day it was reported that McCabe was stepping down as deputy director of the FBI amid attacks by Trump and Republicans.
McSCAB doing what he’s always done best leaking bullshit to the media.
Sounds like fake news to me.
Why would anyone other than a liberal believe anything that comes out of NBC? Same goes for ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC. I would not even believe a weather forecast from any one of them.
Nice data, but It is hard to read with the distracting whatever it is in the background. Could you clean it up?
Thanks!
“NBC News reported Monday.”..........
FAKE NEWS! When I read the first line of the article and saw where it had come from, my first thought was indeed, “Fake News”.
Spreading this story will backfire on McCabe because it draws attention to the connection between his wife and Hillary.
Well deserved.
NBC is the most virulent anti trump network.
Just read the book by Lewandowski & Bossie. The two things PDJT hates most are disloyalty and LOSERS. So he was really ripping her by using that word.
That photo “line up” is missing Hitlary and Odumbo and others of odumbo’s ilk.
The one time I wish fake news was true...LOL
Reminds me more of a “House of Cards” that is rapidly losing the corner stones that hold it together.
reportedly ... stopped right there ... don’t read fake news anymore ...
I thought it was $750K.
