The United States President, Donald Trump, fired a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, Christopher Krebs, who had countered his claim that the electoral activities were pursued. Trump announced his recent decision through Titter handle.

In his Twitter handle, Donald Trump said, “Chris Krebs’ recent statement on the security arrangements during the Presidential Election 2020 was completely wrong. In that stamen, 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. As such, with immediate effective Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency [CISA]”.

“The President’s allegations of massive improprieties are unsubstantiated. His campaign and some allies have filed lawsuits in a number of battleground States, but none of these have thus far successfully overturned any results”, Krebs stated. Krebs had tweeted, “Various election security experts are agree in almost every case. These claims either have been unsubstantiated or are technically incoherent”.

“Altogether 59 scientists and officials — many of them computer scientists and security researchers — had released a letter stating that to their knowledge, there was no credible evidence that the outcome of the election in any State had been altered as a result of being technically compromised”, Krebs said in his Twitter handle. “I am delighted to serve. We did everything right. Defend Today, Secure Tomorrow”, Krebs tweeted soon after he was fired on November 17, 2020. In an official stamen Krebs had said that he was expected to be fired.
