FBI's No. 2 official McCabe, blasted by Trump, steps down

By Sarah N. Lynch WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, criticized by President Donald Trump and other Republicans for alleged bias against him and in favor of his 2016 Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, has stepped down, U.S. officials confirmed on Monday. McCabe, who served as acting Federal Bureau of Investigation chief for more than two months last year after Trump fired Director James Comey, had been expected to leave his post as the No. 2 FBI official in March. The FBI said on Monday that David Bowdich, the No. 3 FBI official, would take over as acting deputy director.
