Acting DHS secretary refuses order to fire top security official

Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf is refusing to follow President Trump's order to fire top cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs, the New York Post reports.

Trump's order came after Krebs openly refuted claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Krebs recently launched a "Rumor Control" website designed to debunk voter fraud claims.

A White House official speaking to the Post say there's no question that the order to fire Krebs came directly from Trump.

"Honestly, it was the president saying, 'What the heck is this guy doing? He's giving me grief before the election and now he's saying there's nothing wrong in the world?'" the official said.

"Chad was asked by the president to fire Anonymous' best friend and he's refusing," the official added. "He is not managing his agency, but that should not surprise anyone because he is a [former DHS Secretary Kirstjen] Nielsen lackey."

I sure hope we see more of this. Whatever shenanigans Trump has planned with his Pentagon shake-up, I'd love to find out their orders are simply ignored.

"Sir, we'll get right on it," he said then hung up, put his feet up on the desk and closed his eyes.
