Newsmax, Trump Campaign Sued for Defamation by Former Cybersecurity Official Christopher Krebs.
Lindsey Ellefson
Former Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs sued Newsmax, Joe diGenova and President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign for defamation.
The suit comes after diGenova said during a Dec. 1 appearance on Newsmax that Krebs “should be drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot.” A few days later, diGenova, a lawyer for Trump, apologized on-air, calling the comments “a poor attempt at humor” and “hyperbole.”
