President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening fired Chris Krebs, the head of U.S. election security, after he said the 2020 presidential election was the most secure U.S. election in American history.
Trump tweeted that “effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.”
“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,” Trump said.
