Addressing Risks from Chris Krebs and Government Censorship
This presidential memorandum directs the immediate revocation of Christopher Krebs's security clearance and initiates a comprehensive review of both his activities and those of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under his leadership.
The actions are justified by allegations that Krebs abused his authority to suppress free speech, engaging in censorship and distorting public opinion concerning the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The review will evaluate Krebs’ conduct for any violations of federal suitability standards and unauthorized dissemination of classified information, ultimately leading to a report with recommendations for remedial actions.
