FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has reportedly stepped down from his position.

Anonymous sources told NBC Monday he is "exercising his retirement eligibility" and "stepping aside."

The news comes just a few weeks after a Washington Post report claimed McCabe was planning to step down in the next few months.

As of late Monday morning, McCabe himself had yet to confirm the decision.
