Trump Lawyer Calls for Ousted Cybersecurity Chief to Be 'Taken Out at Dawn and Shot' - Newsweek

On Monday afternoon, Joe diGenova, a lawyer for the re-election campaign of President Donald Trump said that Chris Krebs, the now-former director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) who was in charge of maintaining election security, "should be drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot.".

Carr asked diGenova about the Trump campaign's allegations of widespread voter fraud that, it claims, swung the 2020 election in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.

"That guy is a class A moron," diGenova said.

diGenova likely called for Krebs' execution because Trump's legal team strongly disagrees with his repeated claims that the 2020 election was free of widespread fraud.

Trump fired Krebs, a lifelong Republican, via Twitter on November 17 after publicly disagreeing with Krebs' November 12 statement, issued via CISA, which called the election "the most secure in American history." The CISA statement proclaimed, "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.".

In Trump's tweet firing Krebs, Trump called Krebs' statement "highly inaccurate.".
