FLASHBACK: Acting FBI Director Failed To Disclose Wife’s Financial Connection To Hillary Ally

Andrew McCabe, currently the acting director of the FBI following President Trump’s firing of former director James Comey, failed to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions his wife received from Hillary Clinton ally and confidant Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in 2015. McAuliffe encouraged Dr. Jill McCabe to run for office just days after stories broke revealing that Clinton had used a private email server. By the end of McCabe’s failed campaign, she had received $467,500 from a PAC directed by McAulliffe and another $292,500 from a second Democratic PAC, all of which McCabe chose not to reveal in his financial disclosure form.

McCabe has come under the spotlight once again now that he is heading up the bureau that is currently investigating the role Russia played in the 2016 election, which includes any potential connection to Trump and his allies. Fox News first reported McCabe’s decision not to disclose the massive infusion of contributions to his wife’s campaign from McAuliffe back in March. Though the Office of Government Ethics says McCabe’s decision to omit the hundreds of thousands of dollars is perfectly acceptable under current regulations, the potential conflict of interest has raised eyebrows.
