Current and former U.S. officials told the Post that Trump and McCabe had a casual conversation before Trump asked McCabe who he voted for in the 2016 presidential election. McCabe reportedly told Trump that he didn’t vote.

Trump also reportedly expressed anger at McCabe over the thousands of dollars in donations his wife, a Democrat, received for her failed Virginia state Senate bid in 2015 from a political action committee led by former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who is closely tied to the Clintons.

One former U.S. official told the Post that McCabe thought the conversation with Trump was “disturbing,” and one person told the newspaper that special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE is interested in the talk.

McCabe was one of several candidates Trump interviewed to replace Comey as FBI director. Trump ultimately tapped Christopher Wray to lead the bureau.

The report that Trump asked McCabe whom he voted for in 2016 follows an Axios report Monday that said Wray threatened to resign after Attorney General Jeff Sessions Jefferson (Jeff) Beauregard SessionsTrump's policies on refugees are as simple as ABCs Ocasio-Cortez, Velázquez call for convention to decide Puerto Rico status White House officials voted by show of hands on 2018 family separations: report MORE pressured him to remove McCabe from his post.

Sessions also allegedly told White House counsel Don McGahn about Wray’s response to the pressure for him to fire McCabe. McGahn replied by telling Sessions that McCabe wasn’t worth losing Wray, according to Axios.

Trump on Tuesday denied that Wray threatened to resign in response to pressure from Sessions to force out McCabe.

"No. He didn't at all. He did not even a little bit," Trump told reporters.

Trump has regularly criticized the donations that McCabe's wife received for her political bid, firing off several tweets last month blasting McCabe over the donations.
