-- According to two senior Democrats from the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, General Timothy Haugh has been relieved of his duties at the helm of the National Security Agency. Both committees expressed strong criticism regarding this change in leadership.
The White House has not yet officially confirmed the departure and did not promptly reply to requests for comments.
"I have found General Haugh to be an honest and direct leader who adhered to the law and prioritized national security — I worry these very traits might result in his dismissal under the current administration," stated Representative Jim Himes, the leading Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, also criticized the move, questioning why Haugh would be removed before any of Trump’s top officials who were involved in the incident where secret military plans for an operation in Yemen were discussed on a messaging app, an incident that came to light after a prominent Washington journalist was inadvertently added to the chat.
Initially reported by The Washington Post, Haugh was removed from his position. It was also mentioned that Wendy Noble, who served as his civilian deputy at the NSA, was transferred to another role within the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.
