FBI official wrote memo fearing Trump got a cover story in Comey firing

WASHINGTON – The former acting FBI director, Andrew McCabe, wrote a confidential memo last spring recounting a conversation that offered significant behind-the-scenes details on the firing of McCabe’s predecessor, James Comey, according to several people familiar with the discussion.

Comey’s firing is a central focus of the special counsel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump tried to obstruct the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. McCabe has turned over his memo to the special counsel, Robert Mueller.
