Andrew McCabe became the Acting Director of the FBI in the midst of political controversy when then President Trump fired James Comey. While the turmoil brought him to national attention, he'd already spent over 20 years of national service in the FBI, where he participated in some of its highest profile cases including 9/11, the Boston bombings, and Benghazi.
