  • The special counsel interviewed Chris Krebs, a former cybersecurity official who assured Trump the 2020 election was secure.
  • Krebs was fired by Trump after stating the election was secure and rejecting claims of fraud.
  • Smith's team is examining a February 2020 White House meeting where officials briefed Trump on election system security.
  • Despite assurances on security, Trump later made baseless claims of widespread fraud in the election.
  • Smith is investigating Trump's role in efforts to overturn the election, including through fake electors and the Capitol riot.
