Christopher Krebs was the head of the US Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. But when he publicly stated the 2020 general election was the most secure in American history, President Donald Trump fired him by tweet. Krebs was pilloried in the conservative media, most notably by conservative news network Newsmax and Trump lawyer Joe diGenova. On national television, diGenova called for Krebs' summary execution, saying Krebs 'should be drawn and quartered,' and 'take out at dawn and shot.' Now, Gizmodo reports turnabout is fair play: Krebs and his lawyers are going after both diGenova and Newsmax. Krebs is suing for defamation after diGenova's comments allegedly lead to death threats against Krebs and his family.
Senator Mitt Romney of Utah said on Wednesday that he did not cast a ballot for Trump. He was sharing a bit about his 2020 presidential election choice, according to Business Insider.

Romney was the only Rep. senator who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment trial in 2020. He has shown that loyalty to your party does not mean turning a blind eye to wrongdoing within your party.
Poll after poll suggests that President Donald Trump is a clear underdog against former Vice President Joe Biden. As his popularity with the American people wanes, the President has retreated deeper and deeper into the conservative media world. CNN reports Trump has given 10 times as many interviews to Fox News as he has to any outlet since he became president. In print news, Trump has given eight interviews to the Wall Street Journal, eight to the Washington Post, Reuters, and the New York Times, and two to the AP. In broadcast media, he's given nine interviews to NBC/CNBC, and seven to ABC and CBS, respectively. On all Fox platforms, however, the president has given 115 interviews since taking the oath of office.
