Chris Krebs, ex-head of cybersecurity agency targeted by Trump, has Global Entry membership revoked

Washington — Chris Krebs, who led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency during President Trump's first term, has had his membership in the Global Entry traveler program revoked, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday.

The move comes after Mr. Trump issued a memorandum last month that targeted Krebs for defending the integrity of the 2020 election, which the president has continued to baselessly claim was rigged against him. The directive instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to suspend security clearances held by Krebs and people working at entities associated with him, including at the cybersecurity company where he worked.

Krebs, a CBS News cybersecurity expert and analyst, told the Wall Street Journal last month that he was resigning from that company, SentinelOne. Mr. Trump's memo also directed his administration to investigate Krebs' activities from his time in the federal government, including at CISA.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told CBS News that Krebs is "under active investigation by law enforcement agencies. That is a fact disqualifying him for Global Entry." CNN first reported that Krebs' Global Entry membership had been rescinded.

There is absolutely no basis to investigate Krebs, nor revoke his Global Entry membership.

I hope Krebs sues.
