President Trump expressed his outrage over former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s recent comments to the media by pinning all of McCabe’s perceived wrongdoing on his former boss, James Comey.

The tweet comes just as McCabe gave a tell-all interview to “60 Minutes” ahead of the release of his new book, where he revealed, among other things, that Trump trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies about North Korea.
