SCOOP: Chris Krebs, the former head of the US cybersecurity agency, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump lawyer Joe DiGenova accusing him, the Trump campaign & the TV outlet Newsmax of a "pernicious conspiracy" to harm GOPers who stood up to POTUS' claims of election fraud.

Last month, after Krebs appeared on "60 Minutes" disputing claims of election fraud, DiGenova threatened him on Newsmax saying he should be "taken out at dawn and shot."
Krebs is suing for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
Story soon.

In his suit, Krebs notes that he received so many threats by tweet, email, even text after DiGenova's remarks he and his family had to leave their home temporarily.
“Daddy’s going to get executed?” the suit quotes Mr. Krebs’s 10-year-old child asking him. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/08/us/joe-biden-donald-trump/a-fired-trump-official-sues-the-campaign-and-the-lawyer-who-said-he-should-be-shot

Krebs, a lifelong Republican, said he filed the suit to encourage others from his party not to be “intimidated into silence.”
“We need to make it clear that these behaviors are not acceptable in a civil society,” he said.
