Trump fires top US cyberofficial who refused to back election claims of fraud
|
 [Washington Examiner] President Trump fired the top cybersecurity official who oversaw the security of this year’s elections and had refused in recent days to confirm the president’s allegations of widespread election-related fraud.
"The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud - including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, 'glitches' in the voting machines which changed ... votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more. Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency," Trump wrote in a pairs of tweets Tuesday evening.
The termination comes just after senior administration officials denied a report that Trump directed acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf to fire Krebs. Three additional senior administration officials with firsthand knowledge of DHS and White House operations said Wolf did not refuse or receive instruction from Trump to remove Krebs. Two officials said that a Cabinet officer cannot fire a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed official. Only Trump himself has that authority.
