McCabe has been at the center of ongoing tensions between the White House and the FBI and has reportedly been under pressure to quit from Trump, whose campaign is being investigated for possible collusion with Russia.

Earlier this month, the Washington Post reported that after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, he met with McCabe in the Oval Office and asked him whom he voted for in the 2016 election.

Trump, the officials told The Post, also vented his anger at McCabe over hundreds of thousand dollars in donations that his wife, a Democrat, received for her failed 2015 Virginia state Senate bid from a political action committee controlled by a close friend of Hillary Clinton.

A long-time career servant, McCabe had served at the FBI since 1996 under former directors Robert Mueller and Comey.

Trump was asked on Monday whether he knew McCabe was stepping aside and the president did not answer.

In recent weeks, Trump has taken aim at McCabe, whose office first arranged the FBI's interview with then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn was fired after just 24 days on the job and pleaded guilty last month to lying to the FBI and is cooperating with the Russia investigation.

Last week, White House spokesman Raj Shah fanned reports of pressure from the White House to fire McCabe by saying in a statement that Trump "believes politically motivated senior leaders" of the FBI "have tainted the agency's reputation for unbiased pursuit of justice" and that the new director he appointed will "clean up the misconduct at the highest levels of the FBI."

Trump has also repeatedly attacked McCabe on Twitter.

"How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin? James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?" Trump tweeted on Dec. 23.

"FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!" he added.

In July, Trump tweeted, "Why didn't A.G. Sessions replace Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a Comey friend who was in charge of Clinton investigation but got.......big dollars ($700,000) for his wife's political run from Hillary Clinton and her representatives. Drain the Swamp!"

Critics of Trump have characterized his attacks on the FBI as an effort to undermine the Russia investigation ? and they began weighing in on McCabe's departure just moments after news of it broke.

He steps down the day after FBI director Wray reads the Fisa memo which names McCabe & Rosenstein, & he did say the Russia story is BS.

Crockett: "That's alt-reality!"

He admits to being a muslim from Indonesia named Barry Soetoro. He attended Harvard as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia. What are you racist or something?

We are all watching in slow motion as the Trump administration (with the help of congressional Republicans) obstructs justice. The next step is to zero in on Rosenstein and replace him with a Trump hack who will stonewall the Mueller investigation. So he will essentially be obstructing the obstruction of justice investigation. It doesn't get any more meta than that.

All of them should be put in front of a firing squad.

Why is the FBI rolling over for this bunch of hacks? They should be going to war.

Yeah Trump is publicly insulting him and his wife almost daily and he can't defend himself and say anything back publicly.

Trump is desperate as The noose tightens and he's going to extremes like a squealing pig putting his personal interest above the country's interests.
