Trump Revokes Security Clearances of Ex-Officials, Orders Investigations

President Donald Trump has intensified his campaign against former officials who criticized him by signing executive orders that revoke their security clearances and initiate investigations. The targeted individuals include Christopher Krebs, former cybersecurity chief, who rejected Trump's claims of election fraud, and Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who wrote critically about Trump. Trump labeled Taylor a potential traitor and accused him of illegally publishing classified information, while calling Krebs 'a disgrace.' Alongside these actions, Trump also issued an order against the law firm Susman Godfrey, which represented Dominion Voting Systems, accusing it of undermining election integrity. Critics argue that these actions represent a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes the rule of law and democratic dissent. Both Krebs and Taylor have defended their actions, asserting that criticism of the government is not treasonous.
