Justice Department closes case against former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe

In this June 7, 2017, file photo, then FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe listens during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, on Capitol Hill, in Washington.Federal prosecutors have declined to charge former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, closing an investigation into whether he lied to federal officials about his involvement in a news media disclosure, McCabe’s legal team said Friday.

In a letter on Friday, prosecutors told McCabe’s lawyers that they decided “not to pursue criminal charges against your client” after careful consideration. The decision to spare McCabe criminal charges eliminates the prospect of a sensational trial that would have refocused public attention on the chaotic months of 2016, when the FBI was entangled in presidential politics through investigations touching both main contenders – Democrat Hillary Clinton and Trump, her Republican opponent.

Why is it called the 'justice' department then?
