Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe has been the target of criticism related to his wife Dr. Jill McCabe‘s ties to Virginia Democrats, including donations to her State Senate campaign from an organization tied to Governor Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Democratic Party. McAuliffe is a known associate of Hillary Clinton, so Republicans have cried conflict of interest, since McCabe was involved in the investigation of Clinton’s emails. Now, watchdog organization Judicial Watch has filed three different lawsuits seeking information regarding the McCabes and Jill’s campaign.
All three lawsuits are based on FOIA requests that Judicial Watch filed in October 2016 that the DOJ has allegedly failed to effectively accommodate.
The cases are all Freedom of Information Act lawsuits seeking records on the McCabes. One asks for:
