Washington, January 30 (RHC)-- In the United States, another shakeup at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, has claimed the agency’s second-highest official.  

Deputy Director Andrew McCabe abruptly resigned from the agency on Monday.  This comes just less than nine months since U.S. President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. 

Political observers in the U.S. consider McCabe’s departure, as well as Comey’s firing, as part of President Trump’s resistance to the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia.   

Donald Trump and some Republican lawmakers have for months attacked McCabe, saying his wife ran as a Democrat for a Virginia Senate seat in 2015 and received money from allies of the Clinton family.  

McCabe said he felt pressure to leave from FBI Director Christopher Wray, despite having wanted to stay until he would be eligible for a full pension.
