President Donald Trump says he has fired a top election official who contradicted his claims of voter fraud.
According to President Trump his “highly inaccurate” remarks on vote integrity was the reason he “terminated” Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) chief Chris Krebs.
Mr Trump has refused to concede the US election, and has made unsubstantiated claims of “massive” voter fraud.
As for election officials, it was confirmed that the vote was the “most secure” in US history.
So far, 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.
Meanwhile, there is a speculation 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.
