Trump administration officials Thursday said Chris Krebs, who debunked President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election as head of the federal cybersecurity agency, lost his membership in an expedited customs program for travelers because he is facing a federal investigation.

The officials declined to specify why Krebs was under investigation, nor did they indicate which agencies were conducting the inquiry. The disclosure came three weeks after Trump, in an act of score settling and intimidation, directed the Justice Department to investigate Krebs.

“Chris Krebs is under active investigation by law enforcement agencies,” a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. “That is a fact disqualifying him for global entry.”

The department offered no further explanation about the inquiry into Krebs, who was appointed to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency by Trump in 2018. A White House official supplied a similar statement
