"Special Counsel Investigates Trump's Praise of U.S. Election System's Integrity in 2020 Meeting"

The special counsel's office is investigating a White House briefing that took place on February 14, 2020, where federal officials assured former President Donald Trump about the security and integrity of the U.S. election system. The briefing included representatives from multiple agencies who explained the difficulty of hacking or fraud in changing election results. Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), who was fired by Trump after insisting on the election's security, has been interviewed by the special counsel's office. The investigation also focuses on the role of "fake electors" and their alleged scheme to claim Trump's victory in battleground states. The grand jury is examining Trump's actions related to the Capitol riot and efforts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.
