Washington, D.C., April 4, 2025: President Donald Trump has removed General Timothy Haugh as NSA Director and head of U.S. Cyber Command, along with his civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, who has been reassigned within the Pentagon. The administration has not disclosed specific reasons for the dismissals, raising concerns about leadership stability in national security.
The decision has drawn strong criticism from congressional Democrats, with Senator Mark Warner stressing the importance of Haugh’s role amid rising cyber threats. Representative Jim Himes voiced concerns over national security implications, while reports suggest the move aligns with Trump’s efforts to install loyalists and curb classified leaks.
