NextImg:Trump Accuses Ex-DHS Official Of Treason, Orders DOJ Investigation Over 'Resistance' Op-Ed
LOADINGERROR LOADING

President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate two former officials from his first administration, including one whom he accused of being “guilty of treason.”

Trump, in a memorandum signed in the Oval Office, ripped ex-Homeland Security official Miles Taylor for writings Taylor made under an “anonymous” pseudonym, which notably include a highly critical 2018 op-ed in The New York Times where he described himself as part of the “resistance” to the president.

“His conduct could properly be characterized as treasonous and as possibly violating the Espionage Act,” read the memo, which stripped security details from Taylor and called on the DOJ to probe his work in the federal government.

Taylor later took to X, formerly Twitter, where he declared that “dissent isn’t unlawful” and it “certainly isn’t treasonous.”

“America is headed down a dark path. Never has a man so inelegantly proved another man’s point,” wrote Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Trump’s former DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Taylor, who Trump claimed he “barely” remembered on Wednesday, joins a list of those targeted on the president’s revenge tour against his political adversaries — some of whom have also been stripped of their security details.

A separate memo signed by Trump describes Chris Krebs — former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency who was fired after he pushed back at the president’s bogus claims of 2020 election fraud — as a “significant bad-faith actor” and calls for a review into his governmental work, as well.

Trump, while signing the memo that revoked Krebs’ security clearance, referred to his former top cybersecurity official as a “wise guy” and a “disgrace” while doubling down on his false election claims.

HuffPost has reached out to Krebs and cybersecurity company SentinelOne, where he serves as the chief intelligence and public policy officer, for comment.

“Chris Krebs… this is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the election context… this instructs your department of justice.. to investigate..”

Tim Miller, an ex-spokesperson for the Republican National Committee and writer-at-large for the anti-Trump conservative site The Bulwark, referred to the president’s remarks on Krebs as “madness.”

“Chris Krebs was a public servant, a GOP appointee, who *did his job* ensuring the 2020 election was secure. For our government to target him like this is appalling & Stalinesque,” Miller wrote on X.
