Uncovered Secret Memo Could Shed More Light On President Trump Firing Comey | The 11th Hour | MSNBC In this clip from The 11th Hour with Brian Williams, a recently uncovered memo from former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe provides new insights into the firing of James Comey. Originally aired on MSNBC, the discussion revolves around significant revelations reported by The New York Times. The memo, which remains confidential, recounts a crucial conversation between McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that took place in the chaotic aftermath of Comey’s abrupt dismissal. Notably, Rosenstein revealed that President Trump had initially requested him to include references to Russia in his memo justifying Comey’s firing—a detail that raises questions about the Trump administration's narrative that painted the firing as stemming from Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton. As highlighted by MSNBC's panel, McCabe's memo has been submitted to special counsel Robert Mueller and may play a critical role in ongoing investigations. McCabe, who faced significant personal attacks from Trump, emphasized his role in the unfolding events and the implications of the conversations he documented. The segment also touches on the increasing tensions between Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, particularly around Sessions' recusal from the Russia investigation. The implications of Rosenstein's comments could have substantial effects on the ongoing investigations into the Trump administration’s ties with Russia, signaling a complex web of motivations and intentions behind the scenes.
