The office of the Justice Department's inspector general has sent a criminal referral regarding former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe to the US Attorney in Washington, DC, according to Pamela Brown of CNN.

Last week, the inspector general's office released a report saying that McCabe "lacked candor" in at least four instances when discussing his decision to authorize disclosures to the media about the FBI's investigation into the Clinton foundation.

McCabe was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions earlier this year, days before he was eligible to retire with a full pension.

The inspector general's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
