Trump signs orders targeting ‘Anonymous’ author and former top cybersecurity official who crossed him in first term: ‘Like a traitor’

President Donald Trump intensified his efforts to punish his critics on Wednesday by signing a pair of notes that the Ministry of Justice is directed to investigate two officials of his first administration and strip them of any security permits that they may have.

Trump’s targeting of Miles Taylor, a former official in the Ministry of Internal Security in the first period of Trump, and the Chris Cribus Award, a former cyber security official, came as the president sought to use the presidential powers to take revenge on his opponents, including law companies.

On Wednesday, Trump took revenge on another law firm, Suzman Jodfrey, as he seeks to punish companies that have links to the prosecutors who have achieved it or work as lawyers as opponents.

Although Trump ordered that he be stripped of a number of his opponents, including former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, the president’s order on Wednesday directs the Ministry of Justice to a wide investigation into the actions of Taylor and Circus to escalate Trump’s campaign against revenge since he returned to power.

Taylor, who left the Trump administration in 2019, was later unveiled to be an unknown introduction to the New York Times in 2018, which was sharply criticizing Trump. The person who writes the article described itself as part of a secret “resistance” to confront Trump’s misleading “pulses”, and touched on its publication of a leakage in the first White House of Trump.

Taylor later published a book called “Anonymous” and publicly revealed his identity days before the 2020 elections.

Trump said on Wednesday that Taylor was “like the traitor” and that his writings on “secret” “” “is like spying”.

“I think it is guilty of betrayal,” he said.

Taylor replied by saying that Trump proved his point of view.

He wrote on x.

Trump appointed Kribes, director of the Cyber ​​Security Agency and infrastructure, but he was angry with him after he announced the 2020 elections that Trump lost to be safe and manufactured accurate.

Krebes did not respond to a message seeking to get a comment, but late on Wednesday, he originally participated in a message when he left the government in 2020: “We are honored. We did it correctly.”

Trump has liedly claimed that he was cheated on his re -election in 2020 due to widespread fraud, despite a mountain of evidence, on the contrary. He narrates, reviews and reviews in the battlefield where he questioned his loss, each of Biden confirmed his victory. The judges, including some who appointed him, rejected dozens of legal challenges.

“It is strange to see a president investigating his own administration and his appointment,” said David Baker, the former lawyer for the Ministry of Justice and co -author of “The Big Truth”, a book on the Trump elections for the year 2020.

Baker indicated that Krebis issued his purification on the security of the upcoming elections for several months during the year 2020 without retreating from the president at the time, with Trump only after calculating the votes.

Baker said: “The reason is that he can sit in the White House today and judge this position is that our electoral system is safe and determined accurately who won the presidency.”

Suzman Jodfrey, the company Trump, on Wednesday, represented Dominion’s voting systems in a lawsuit accused of Fox News for falsely claiming that the voting company has fled the presidential elections for 2020. Fox News finally agreed to pay nearly $ 800 million to avoid an experience.

The demand is prevented from using government resources or buildings, according to the White House Minister of Staff Will.

In a statement, Suzman Jodfrey answered that the people who know the company know that it is seriously required its duty to support the rule of law. “This principle directs us now,” the company said. “There is no doubt that we will fight this unconstitutional.”

Trump has released a series of orders aimed at punishing companies, including by requesting to suspend law security permits and cancel federal contracts. He succeeded in extracting concessions from some of those who settled, but others have challenged court orders.
