Trump had appointed Krebs director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Security when CISA was established in 2018. In an implicit criticism of the unsubstantiated claims of fraud made by Trump, CISA rejected assertions that voting systems were compromised, and said in a statement that the election, whose result Trump has refused to accept, was “the most secure in American history.” But in firing Krebs on Monday, Trump took a swipe at the statement, saying that it was “highly inaccurate,” and asserted without evidence that “there were massive improprieties and fraud....
During his testimony, Sondland asserted that he had spoken with Pence on September 1 ahead of a meeting the vice president had planned with Zelenskiy in Poland and raised his concerns that the Trump administration’s delay in U.S. aid to Ukraine might be tied to President Donald Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. “I mentioned to Vice President Pence before the meetings with the Ukrainians that I had concerns that the delay in aid had become tied to the issue of investigations,” Sondland said....
