According to the Hill, multiple senators likened Trump to Nixon in the firing. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) were just a few Democrats to criticize the move, with Leahy saying that Trump fired Comey "in the midst of one of the most critical national security investigations in the history of our country — one that implicates senior officials in the Trump campaign and administration." After the firing, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is expected to serve as the acting director until a replacement is found for Comey. According to an FBI press release, Comey was the one who promoted McCabe to his position. McCabe and his wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, are controversial for Republicans. Both he and his wife have been tied to Democrats, with his wife having run for office. (Instagram)
