Cybersecurity
official fired
by Trump sues
over threats
BY BEN FOX
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
The U.S. cybersecurity
official who was fired last
month by President Don-
ald Trump filed a lawsuit
Tuesday over threatening
remarks by a lawyer for
the president that prompt-
ed a wave of death threats
against him.
Christopher Krebs says
in the suit that he has been
“bombarded” with threats
since attorney Joseph diG-
enova appeared on the
pro-Trump TV network
Newsmax and called for
Krebs to be killed.
“The defendants’
threats have upended
plaintiff’s life, as well as
his family’s security, and
caused serious fear, dis-
tress, suffering, and even
physical damage,” he said
in the lawsuit, filed in
diGenova’s home state of
Maryland.
Amid the threats,
Krebs, a Republican and
Trump appointee, was
forced to move out of his
home in Virginia for sev-
eral days and hire private
security. He still keeps his
children from playing in
their front yard out of fear,
attorney Jim Walden said.
