ANDREW MCCABE/FBI/LEGAL/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired by the Trump administration but has said he was terminated because he is a crucial witness in the Russia investigation, has raised more than $292,000 in seven hours to help cover costs defending against other ongoing government probes, the funding website showed. A statement on the GoFundMe internet page unveiled earlier on Thursday [3-29-18] said the goal was to raise $150,000 from the public but it was raised to $250,000 because of a response that ‘has been remarkable and beyond our expectations.’ The action represents an escalation of the battle between McCabe and the administration over his firing amid heavy criticism by President Donald Trump. It also raises the prospect that McCabe could legally challenge his termination in the future.”
