Ousted Trump cybersecurity official calls Rudy Giuliani's election claims "dangerous"

• "It's not me, it's not just CISA. It's the tens of thousands of election workers out there that had been working nonstop, 18-hour days, for months," added Krebs, who was fired by President Trump after the cybersecurity department called the 2020 election "the most secure in American history."

"They're getting death threats for trying to carry out one of our core democratic institutions, an election. And that was, again, to me, a press conference that ... didn't make sense. What it was actively doing was undermining democracy. And that's dangerous."

What they're saying: Trump tweeted criticism of "60 Minutes" as the interview aired, claiming that "60Minutes never asked us for a comment."

• The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
