U.S. media reported that sources from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said that senior official Brian Weir had been asked by the White House to resign this week. The source did not provide more details about Will's departure.

According to a report from The Hill, Bryan Ware took up his duties last year and was responsible for protecting and strengthening critical network infrastructure from external attacks. During the CCP virus pandemic, he was responsible for protecting health care and basic services from network attacks.

Regarding the resignation, Will himself said: "I am very proud of the work I have done this year. We have done a great job protecting the election."

According to the report, Will's departure may have just begun. It is understood that Ms. Valerie Boyd, Assistant Minister for International Affairs, has also resigned. The Director of the Cyber ​​and Structural Security Bureau Christopher Krebs (Christopher Krebs) has told several employees in private that he himself is likely to be fired.

However, CISA declined to comment on the news that Krebs may leave.

There was an unimaginable fraud scandal in the US election. The Trump camp has sought judicial solutions and recounts in many states.

Earlier, the Trump administration had fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and Will was one of the recently fired defense and security personnel. The next person to be named and fired is Gina Haspel, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

On November 13, Republican Gohmert revealed that the US Army had raided Scytl, a company with election data, in Frankfurt this week, confiscating its Dominion server, and won direct evidence of election fraud for the Trump team. This action completely excluded the CIA.

Gohmert also said that President Trump may soon discover some specific details after obtaining election-related information. He said there are some people who want to launch a coup against Trump, including the FBI in the intelligence community.

The report’s brief comment stated that Will’s departure is believed to be one of the Trump administration’s continued efforts to clean up the “swamp” of defense and security. As mentioned in this article, “The Secretary of Defense Mark Esper  at the beginning of this week Dismissed... Several other senior officials of the Ministry of Defense also resigned a few days later."

It is worth noting that Will only participated in the work of the General Election Cyber ​​Security Coordination Center. The center’s coordination objects include state governments, local officials, social media companies, and election counting machine vendors. With election fraud being gradually revealed, all the above-mentioned government agencies and private companies have been involved. But Will himself declared that "we have done a great job protecting the election."

In addition, large-scale fraud has been exposed in many states. The Bureau of Network and Structural Security under the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement on its official website on the 12th: "There is no evidence that any voting system has deleted, lost or changed ballots, or in other way, the votes were damaged." This kind of statement trying to prove innocence is quite suspect.

At the same time, the center launched a "rumor control" page during the general election, claiming to eliminate misleading and false information during the election process. What is its intention? Is it to control public opinion through state-level means? Following the dismissal of the Secretary of Defense, will the Department of Homeland Security be another agency that needs to be cleaned up? The outside world can wait and see.
