New York Times: “In late November, one day after Christopher Krebs, the former head of the government’s cybersecurity agency, went on ’60 Minutes’ to dispute President Trump’s claims of fraud in the election, one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers threatened him on television. ‘He should be drawn and quartered,’ the lawyer, Joseph DiGenova, said of Mr. Krebs on the conservative TV outlet Newsmax. ‘Taken out at dawn and shot.’ On Tuesday, Mr. Krebs, who was fired by Mr. Trump last month, filed a lawsuit against Mr. DiGenova accusing him and the Trump campaign of defamation and the infliction of emotional distress.”
“The lawsuit, which seeks monetary damages and the removal of the threatening video from the Newsmax archives, also made a far more extraordinary claim: that Mr. Trump, members of his legal team and Newsmax have been engaging in ‘a calculated and pernicious conspiracy’ to defame and injure not just Mr. Krebs but other members of the Republican Party who have stood up against the president’s baseless claims of fraud.”
