| Former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe won back his pension Thursday after the Justice Department settled rather than face a federal lawsuit asserting he was illegally fired for political reasons in March 2018 for overseeing the FBI's Russia investigation. In Thursday's settlement, the Justice Department admitted no wrongdoing. But the Biden administration rescinded McCabe's dismissal, restored his full pension and other benefits, and allowed him to officially retire and receive about $200,000 in missed payments. |
