President Trump has fired a top election official who contradicted his claim on electoral fraud over his loss in the just concluded Presidential Election.
The outcome of the US Elections has been widely accepted by Americans and the world at large but President Donald Trump has refused to concede defeat and has made unsubstantiated claims of “massive” voter fraud while Election officials said the vote was the “most secure” in US history
Trump said he “terminated” Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) chief Chris Krebs for his “highly inaccurate” remarks on vote integrity.
Mr Krebs is the latest official to be dismissed by the US president following his defeat, with Defense Secretary Mark Esper also shown the door amid reports Mr Trump doubted the Pentagon chief’s loyalty.
There are also speculations in Washington DC that before Mr Trump leaves office in January, CIA director Gina Haspel and FBI director Christopher Wray could also be for the chopping block.
Like many others dismissed by President Trump, Mr Krebs reportedly only learned he had been fired when he saw the president’s tweet on Tuesday but he appears to have no regrets about the development.
