Trump fires cybersecurity official who debunked the GOP lies about election fraud

On Tuesday, outgoing President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he is firing Chris Krebs, the Director of the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who was behind the government statement last week that the election was the most secure in history and "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

In his tweets, Trump said that he explicitly is firing him over the statement, saying that he does not believe this to be true — and baselessly claiming that the election was in fact riddled with fraud.
