The former U.S. cybersecurity official ousted after debunking voter fraud claims has responded to "dangerous" comments from a lawyer for President Trump's campaign, who called for him to be "taken out at dawn and shot."
Joe diGenova, a Trump campaign attorney, said on The Howie Carr Show Monday that the former head of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Chris Krebs, should be "shot," CNN reports. Krebs was fired by Trump after he released a joint statement with other officials calling the 2020 election the "most secure in American history" and saying there is "no evidence" that any voting system "was in any way compromised." This came as Trump pushed baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the election.
