Submission + - Trump Revokes Security Clearance for Ex-CISA Director Chris Krebs (securityweek.com)
wiredmikey writes: President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum revoking any active security clearance held by former CISA chief Chris Krebs and ordering an immediate review of the cybersecurity agency’s conduct during Krebs’ tenure. The order directs federal agencies to terminate any active security clearances held by Krebs and to suspend clearances held by individuals affiliated with entities associated with him, including the cybersecurity company SentinelOne, pending a national interest review. The White House memo also alleges that during his time in government, Krebs engaged in activities that it claims were inconsistent with the administration’s policies on free speech and government neutrality.
