U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday fired Chris Krebs, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, due to Krebs' recent statement about the election.

Trump tweeted that the decision is effective immediately, adding that "the recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud – including dead people voting."
