President Donald Trump, never one to let criticism go unanswered, bashed Andrew McCabe on Twitter Thursday after the former acting FBI director gave an interview to CBS’ “60 Minutes” about Russian election meddling, among other things.

The full interview has yet to air, but in the clip released Thursday McCabe discusses his acute concern after the 2016 election and insistence on ordering investigators to look into possible obstruction of justice by Trump and his team.

Also reportedly in the interview, but omitted from the clip, McCabe says that there were discussions with the DOJ about removing Trump with the 25th Amendment and about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wearing a wire in the Oval Office.

McCabe has a book coming out called “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.”
