The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's actions to dismantle efforts aimed at securing U.S. elections through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Trump, who has long made unfounded claims about election fraud, particularly following his 2020 election loss, reportedly pressured CISA to focus less on election security. This included disbanding a task force dedicated to combating disinformation and foreign interference in elections. The article highlights how Trump's administration viewed these security measures as potentially undermining his narrative of election integrity. Furthermore, it notes that despite these efforts, CISA has continued to work on election security, albeit under increased scrutiny and with less support from the top levels of government during Trump's tenure. The piece also touches on the broader implications of these actions, suggesting they could have lasting effects on public trust in electoral processes.
