President Donald Trump deepened his purge of officials who have contradicted his unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud, firing a top cybersecurity expert whose agency called the Nov. 3 election “the most secure in American history.”
In a tweet Tuesday evening, Trump said he was finished with Christopher Krebs -- the former Microsoft Corp. executive who became the first director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, known as CISA.
