DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has had great success in combatting misinformation. So why is Team Trump so eager to gut it?
What we’re continuing to learn, however, is that under the same project, other federal offices and agencies would find that their objectives have been radically altered.
The report, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, added that the Project 2025 blueprint “recommends ending CISA’s efforts to counter the flow of mis- and disinformation.” If the name of the agency sounds at all familiar, it’s not your imagination: CISA might’ve once been obscure, but it ultimately took on a greater political significance.
Revisiting our earlier coverage, it was the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security that created the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in 2018, andBy any fair measure, it was a success: CISA spent much of 2020, among other things, combatting foreign interference in our elections and preventing attacks. The office was led by Christopher Krebs, who served as the nation’s top cybersecurity official, and who earned bipartisan praise for his work.
after the 2020 elections, “When the history books about this election are written, Krebs will be one of the heroes.”. The then-president wanted CISA to go along with ridiculous lies about the 2020 elections, and when Krebs instead told the truth, he was shown the door.A larger pattern is starting to take shape.
