US President Donald Trump has fired top cybersecurity official Chris Krebs in a message on Twitter. Mr Trump accused him, without evidence, of making a 'highly inaccurate' statement affirming the November election was secure and rejecting claims of fraud

Mr Trump accused him, without evidence, of making a "highly inaccurate" statement affirming the 3 November election was secure and rejecting claims of fraud.

Mr Krebs' work in protecting the election from hackers and combatting disinformation about the vote won praise from politicians of both parties, as well as state and election officials around the country. Twitter slapped warning labels on Mr Trump's posts, noting: "This claim about election fraud is disputed."

Mr Wales has served in multiple positions within the DHS under the Trump administration and is not seen as a partisan figure, said a former colleague. Mail-in balloting reached a record high this year because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

Without Evidence? There have been 'glitches' in software flipping votes, human errors, found ballots & arrests of people faking ballots, 99% in Biden's direction. There are hundreds of signed Affidavits from whistleblowers, on penalty of perjury, & it's going through the courts

What Trump is doing must be illegal. Looking from afar they don't have a democracy. And the most frightening thing is most of the republican party are supporting him. He also has 71 million right wing Looney's backing him also. And people wonder how Hitler came to power!!

Your ass is sick. People actually think he is the best choice. Please you need to go ASAP!!

'without evidence' - hardly sums this up. Trump's quote should be given a fact check.

The statement, by the way, is exactly the same statement Trump boasted and tried to take credit for on his Twitter feed. I’m assuming someone or other finally sat him down and explained why it undermined his lies about the election being “rigged” against him.

Election was rigged biden can’t b oresident

Since Monday alone...
