President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate two former officials of his first administration who betrayed him openly, saying that he believes that one of them is “guilty of betrayal.”
The orders to review the activities and revoke the security authorizations of the former director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security (CISA), Christopher Krebs, and the former chief of cabinet of the Department of National Security (DHS) were signed Miles Taylor.
Krebs was dismissed through a Trump Tweet In November 2020 for launching a statement Claiming the presidential elections “was the safest in the history of the United States” and denouncing “unfounded statements” that Joe Biden was not the true winner.
Trump’s publication at that time said:
The recent statement of Chris Krebs about the safety of the 2020 elections was highly inaccurate, since there was massive inappropriation and fraud, including the voters of dead people, survey observers not allowed in vote places, potholes of bachines, vote of machines and many more. Therefore, from immediately, Chris Krebs has been fired as director of the Cybernetic Security and Infrastructure Security Agency.
While Trump signed the presidential memorandum with respect to Krebs, the White House Secretary, Will Scharf, explained that “he addresses his existing access to the existing authorizations he could have,” and directs the Department of Justice and “other aspect” of the federal government participated:
“I think he said that this is the safest choice we have had and yet, every day you read in the newspapers about more and more fraud discovered. He is fraud. It is a misfortune,” Trump said. “So we will discover white or not, it was a safe choice and, if it was, it has a great price to pay, and it is a bad guy.”
He memorandum He described Krebs as a “significant actor of bad faith that armed and abused his government authority.”
Taylor wrote a Anonymous opinion article While working in the DHS, stating that there was a “resistance” within the first Trump administration that “promised” undermine the president’s policies, as well as the anonymous memories that criticized Trump’s behavior.
It was also beaten with a Presidential memorandumAffirming that he participated in the “little ethical washing and the release of confidential government data to advance its false narratives.”
Insisting that the former DHS official is a “traitor”, Trump suggested that he committed betrayal with his leaks.
“I barely remember him. Someone who came out and wrote a book and said all kinds of terrible things that were all lies,” Trump said as he signed the memorandum in the oval office. “I think it’s guilty of betrayal.”
The memorando says:
The classified conversations published illegally to sell their book under the pseudonym “Anonymous”, which is full of fake hoods and manufactured stories. In doing so, Taylor left his sacred oath and his commitment to public service by revealing Obney confidential information through unauthorized methods and betrayed the confidence of those with whom he served.
Taylor reacted in X, claiming that his actions were not “treacherous”:
“I said that this would happen. Disidence is not illegal. It is certainly not treacherous. America is directed by a dark path. The point of another man has never demonstrated a man,” was written.
In the past, Taylor has compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putinand battery On January 6, he informed that members or the congress of wanting to be killed, Breitbart News reported.
Jim Himes Representative (D-CT) say Thursday in CNNS The situation of the situation That Trump was acting as a “Bolivian dictator” of the 1950s, and argued that the investigation “will not find anything that Chris Krebs has done wrong.”
