Andrew McCabe, the fired former deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, kept personal memos detailing his interactions with President Donald Trump, as well as what happened during the time period when the president fired former FBI director James Comey, a source familiar with the situation told BuzzFeed News.
McCabe no longer has the memos, the source noted, detailing that they are the same kind of memos that were kept by Comey.
The Associated Press first reported the existence of the McCabe memos on Saturday afternoon, following Attorney General Jeff Sessions decision on Friday night to fire McCabe due what he wrote was an "unauthorized disclosure" to the media and a lack of candor with investigators.
The Comey memos have been the subject of litigation and were a key reference point in his Hill testimony in June 2017. Comey said outright that he made the detailed memos because he was afraid Trump would "lie" about their private conversations.
