McCain defends giving dossier to Comey: 'I would do it again'

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) wrote in his upcoming memoir that he does not regret alerting the FBI about the so-called Steele dossier, which details President Trump's alleged ties to Russia.

McCain acknowledged in January 2017 that he delivered a dossier of "sensitive information" to then-FBI Director James Comey.

In his upcoming book, "The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations," McCain wrote that he "did what duty demanded I do" in passing on the documents.

"I discharged that obligation, and I would do it again. Anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell," McCain said, according to excerpts of the book published by The Guardian.

He added that any risk that the president might be compromised by Russians "had to be investigated."
