On the same day McCabe assumed the position as Acting Director of the FBI, McCabe was interviewed by FBI internal Inspection Division (INSD) agents about leaks to the ''Wall Street Journal'' two weeks prior to the 2016 election. McCabe denied authorizing his special counsel [[Lisa Page]] to leak the existence of the FBI's investigation into the [[Clinton Foundation]], and denials of his own conflict of interest in that investigation. McCabe further told FBI investigators he did not know who authorized the leak.
