Following the abrupt firing of FBI director James Comey, deputy director Andrew McCabe is now set to lead the agency. McCabe will serve as the FBI's acting director until a permanent replacement is selected, according to CNN. The 49-year-old worked with the FBI for 19 years and led the agency's counterterrorism and national security divisions. McCabe was criticized after his wife received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from a Clinton operative during her bid for Virginia State Senate.
