Washington (CNN) - Congressional leadership did not object when former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe informed them that the FBI had opened a counter-intelligence investigation into President Donald Trump, McCabe said Tuesday.
"I told Congress what we had done," McCabe told NBC's Savannah Guthrie on the "Today" show. "That's the important part here, Savannah: no one objected. Not on legal grounds, not on constitutional grounds, and not based on the facts."
McCabe indicated Republican Mitch McConnell, Republican Paul Ryan, and Republican Devin Nunes were part of the "Gang of 8" who were informed on May 17, 2017 of the ongoing investigation of the con artist, his collusion with Russia, and at least three other members of the con artist campaign.
Asked whether he believed the con artist is still a target of special counsel Robert Mueller, McCabe answered, "So do I think the case into Trump is open or closed? There's absolutely no reason for me to believe that it's closed."

Additionally, in an interview with The Atlantic that published on Tuesday, McCabe said that investigators' concerns about Trump "and whether or not he posed a national-security threat" had been "building for some time" before Trump fired Comey.
"I could see how that would fit if we had initiated this concern in the wake of Jim's firing. The fact is, we were building to this point for months before Jim was fired," McCabe said.
He added: "But it was the events around the firing that kind of sealed the deal for me and the folks on the team."
