From Fox News: President Donald Trump has fired the head of the National Security Agency (NSA), a high-level move driven by mounting pressure from conservative allies to purge officials they view as insufficiently loyal to the president’s “America First” agenda.
Gen. Timothy Haugh and civilian Deputy Wendy Noble were let go from their roles as director and deputy director of the NSA. Lt. Gen. William Hartman, who also leads U.S. Cyber Command, will serve as acting director, while Sheila Thomas will take over as deputy.
Hartman previously commanded the Cyber National Mission Force and has served in intelligence, cyberspace operations and infantry roles during deployments around the world. Thomas most recently headed NSA’s cryptologic partnership with the U.K. and served as director of engagement and policy at NSA.
President Trump fired both Haugh and Noble following a visit to the Oval Office on Wednesday by investigative journalist Laura Loomer, who provided Trump with additional vetting information she had discovered about multiple Biden holdovers still working in the Trump administration.
Loomer pointed out in a post on X Thursday that Hough had been HAND PICKED by General Mark Milley, who was accused of committing treason by President Trump.
Additionally, Loomer said Nobel is a protege of Trump hater James Clapper, who Trump has accused of spying on his campaign. Clapper was also one of the 51 “spies who lied,” a group of former intelligence officials who infamously signed a document falsely alleging that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation,” just days before the 2020 election.
US Army LTG William J. Hartman, the Depty CDR, US Cyber Command, is the new Acting DIRNSA/CSS. He is well qualified (thank God) & has an impressive assignment history. His service bio:
