(CNSNews.com) — Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit today on behalf of retired FBI Special Agent Jeffrey A. Danik, seeking records on FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and political donations made in 2015 to McCabe’s wife by groups overseen by Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Danik worked for the FBI for nearly 30 years.
As Judicial Watch explained in a press release, “In 2015, a political action committee run by McAuliffe, a close friend and political supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, donated nearly $500,000 to Jill McCabe, wife of [Andrew] McCabe, who was then running for the Virginia State Senate.”
“Also, the Virginia Democratic Party, over which McAuliffe had significant influence, donated an additional $207,788 to the Jill McCabe campaign,” stated Judicial Watch. “In July 2015, Andrew McCabe was in charge of the FBI’s Washington, D.C., field office, which provided personnel resources to the [Hillary] Clinton email probe.”
