(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump was surprised and angered by the Justice Departments decision not to charge Andrew McCabe with crimes, but the president is wary of acting against the former deputy FBI director out of concern he might push Attorney General William Barr to resign, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Justice Department gave the White House no advance notice of its decision on McCabe, meaning Trump found out along with the public when it was announced on Tuesday, three of the people said. That created fresh point of potential tension between Trump and Barr, who has publicly criticized Trumps tweets about criminal cases DOJ is pursuing and has privately told associates he may quit.
The president is weighing his options to respond to the Justice Departments non-prosecution decision on McCabe, but it isnt clear he can do anything, the people said. He is aware that he should proceed delicately, given Barrs position, they said.
The people asked not to be identified discussing the presidents private deliberations. The White House and Justice Department communications staff declined to comment.
