Washington, Mar 17 (IBNS): In a major development, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has fired FBI official Andrew McCabe, media reports said.
As per media reports, McCabe has been accused of political bias by US President Donald Trump.
He has been removed from the post just two days before he was expected to retire.
The movie might make him lose some of his pension rights.
In a statement issued late on Friday as stated in a BBC report, Sessions said: "Based on the report of the Inspector General, the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and the recommendation of the Department's senior career official, I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately."
