Trump Just OUTED Major Traitor Staffer in The Oval Office
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump took action to revoke the security clearances of former Department of Homeland Security official Miles Taylor and former CISA Director Chris Krebs. He also initiated formal inquiries into their activities during his initial term in office.
As part of a broader series of executive actions, Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum targeting Krebs. The memo “addresses his access to existing government clearances,” and outlines new directives issued directly from the Oval Office.
According to White House staff secretary Will Scharf, the memorandum instructs the Department of Justice and “other aspects” of the federal government “to investigate some of the malign acts” Krebs may have committed while leading the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
“This is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the context of COVID-19 and the election,” Scharf explained. “The Presidential Memorandum you just signed is comparable to this one. In addition to addressing his access to any current government clearances he may possess, it directs your Department of Justice and other branches of your government to look into some of the nefarious activities he engaged in while serving as CISA’s head.”
Krebs drew national attention after the 2020 election for asserting that it was “the most secure in American history,” contradicting widespread calls for further investigation into alleged irregularities and anomalies.
Ultimately, Trump fired Krebs for publicly dismissing concerns about the election, branding him a “fraud” and a “disgrace.” The president described the move as a necessary step toward restoring accountability in federal institutions.
“I don’t know that I met him. I’m sure I met him, but I didn’t know him,” Trump said. “And he came out right after the election — which was a rigged election, a badly rigged election. We did phenomenally in that election.”
A fact sheet from the White House clarified that the Presidential Memorandum “directs the head of every federal agency to immediately revoke any active security clearance held by Krebs.” It also calls for the suspension of “any active security clearance held by individuals and entities associated with Krebs, including SentinelOne, pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with national interest.”
Beyond Krebs, the order also focuses on Miles Taylor, calling for a probe into his public claims of leading “the resistance” within the administration during Trump’s first term. The directive specifically references Taylor’s security clearances at the University of Pennsylvania, where he currently teaches, labeling them as “pending a review of whether such clearances align with the national interest.”
Taylor came under scrutiny after admitting in 2020 that he authored the infamous anonymous op-ed published in the New York Times in 2018. The piece accused the Trump administration of misconduct and claimed there was a coordinated effort within the government to undermine the president’s agenda.
While signing the order against Taylor, Trump remarked, “If you want to know the truth, I believe he is guilty of treason.”
In a separate development, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed during a Cabinet meeting on Thursday that U.S. intelligence agencies had obtained “evidence” pointing to vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems.
“We’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best of the best going after this. Election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard stated. “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast.”
