Washington – President Trump ordered the Department of Justice on Wednesday to launch investigations of the author “Anonymous” of Miles Taylor for filtering during his first mandate and the former cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs for attesting to the legitimacy of the 2020 elections.
“I think it is guilty of betrayal, if you want to know the truth, but we will discover it … a terrible guy,” Trump said about Taylor, the former chief of cabinet of the National Security Department, while signing presidential memoranda in the Oval Office to the Larval Office to launch.
Taylor in 2018 fueled the mass public interest with an opinion article of the New York Times in which he intended to be “a senior official in the Trump administration” and wrote that he was “working diligently from the inside to frustrate parts of [Trump’s] Agenda and its sausage inclinations. ”
In 2019, Taylor wrote, also anonymously, the book “A WARNING”.
There was a significant disappointment when the previously little known Taylor came out in the intense speculation defined by 2020 that the author was a member of the internal circle of the 45th President.
“It’s like a traitor, it’s like spying. Enter the office. It is supposed to be sitting here,” Trump said.
“Hello, an ‘anonymous’ book, and I always thought it was terrible, and now we have the opportunity to find out whether it was terrible or not, but it was a fictional job and he received a lot of advertising, he had to have in his life, but it was a fiction job and a lot of advertising was obtained, whose work.”
Trump signed a similar order against Krebs, the former director of the Cybernetic Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), whom the president dismissed in November 2020 for stating that the elections of that year were the “safer” in US history.
Trump called Krebs “a wise” for disputing his statement fraud statements.
“We will also find out about this type, because this guy is a wise,” said the president.
“This is an honor. We are going to discover White or not, he was right. This was a shameful choice. And this guy sat saying: ‘Well, I am a member,’ as if I were a Republican or something … and has tried to do.” “
Trump added: “He is fraud. It is a misfortune. So we will discover whether or not it was a safe choice, and if it was, it has a great price to pay, and it is a bad guy.”
Taylor, Krebs and the Department of Justice did not respond immediately to requests for comments.
The White House acts said that Krebs and Taylor would be investigated for a possible “unauthorized dissemination of classified information” and that federal agencies were receiving instructions to remove any security authorization they currently have.
