President Donald Trump signs a pair of controversial executive orders directing federal authorities to investigate two former officials from his first administration—Christopher Krebs and Miles Taylor. The directives, issued on April 9, 2025, order the Justice Department to scrutinize their conduct during their tenure and revoke their current security clearances.
Christopher Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), was fired by Trump in November 2020 after publicly disputing the president's claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Krebs called that election "the most secure in American history," a statement that directly contradicted Trump. . .
