Christopher Krebs was the head of the US Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
But when he publicly stated the 2020 general election was the most secure in American history, President Donald Trump fired him by tweet.
Krebs was pilloried in the conservative media, most notably by conservative news network Newsmax and Trump lawyer Joe diGenova.
On national television, diGenova called for Krebs' summary execution, saying Krebs 'should be drawn and quartered,' and 'take out at dawn and shot.'
Now, Gizmodo reports turnabout is fair play: Krebs and his lawyers are going after both diGenova and Newsmax.
Krebs is suing for defamation after diGenova's comments allegedly lead to death threats against Krebs and his family.
