Behind closed doors, Trump also asked McCabe who he voted for in the presidential election and referred to his wife as a loser, according to a source familiar with the matter.
McCabe initially did not respond to Trump’s question but later told Trump he did not vote in 2016, the source said.
Asked about this in January, Trump said he did not recall asking McCabe whom he voted for.
The inspector general’s report is largely focused on how McCabe answered questions about whether he leaked to the press in advance of a story that was critical of his oversight into the Clinton Foundation investigation.
McCabe contends he did not view this as a leak but as an authorized disclosure that is commonplace in Washington between reporters and government officials.
He said he answered questions truthfully, and later, when he felt investigators misunderstood his answers, he tried to clarify his responses with them.
