Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“Guilty of Treason”: Trump Orders DOJ Probe into Two Former Officials Who Criticized Him

HeadlineApr 11, 2025

President Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate two officials from his first term who publicly pushed back against Trump’s lies about fraud in the 2020 election. Trump accused one of the officials, former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor, of treason. The other target is former head of U.S. cybersecurity, Chris Krebs. Trump also revoked security clearances for Taylor and Krebs. Miles Taylor wrote on social media in response, “Dissent isn’t unlawful. It certainly isn’t treasonous. America is headed down a dark path.”
