The Trump administration has issued a directive against Christopher Krebs, the founding director and former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for weaponizing and abusing his government authority during his tenure. The memorandum issued by the government has not only called for the suspension of Krebs’ security clearance but also ordered a sweeping review of CISA’s activities over the past six years.
Citing Krebs — who is also now the chief intelligence and public policy officer at cybersecurity giant SentinelOne — as a bad-faith actor who abused government authority, the memorandum stated, “Krebs’ misconduct involved the censorship of disfavored speech implicating the 2020 election and COVID-19 pandemic.”
