Special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s possible interference with the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election has been hard at work. The New York Times is now reporting that Smith’s team is hunting down leads on the dubious nature of the firing of Christopher Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the US Department of Homeland Security.
Krebs was fired days after he released a statement asserting that “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.… There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” According to the Times, Smith’s team has subpoenaed and spoken with many of the White House aides who may have been involved in, or a witness to, the shenanigans surrounding Krebs’ departure.
Krebs, like many other officials before him, stood up to Trump’s bullying attempts to cast doubt on and overturn the election, and Trump repaid him by firing him and attacking his aptitude for his job. Krebs has reportedly already spoken with Smith’s investigators.
