US NSA director Timothy Haugh fired, Washington Post reports

[WaPo via Rooters via Yahoo] The director of the U.S. National Security Agency was fired on Thursday, the Washington Post reported, citing two current and one former U.S. officials.

Timothy Haugh, who is also head of U.S. Cyber Command, was dismissed along with his deputy at the NSA, Wendy Noble, the newspaper said.

Noble was reassigned to a job within the Pentagon's office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, the newspaper said. The NSA is part of the U.S. Defense Department

The current and former officials cited by the Washington Post said they did not know the reason for Haugh’s dismissal or Noble’s reassignment.

U.S. Cyber Command deputy William Hartmann was named acting NSA director and Sheila Thomas, who was the executive director at the NSA, was named acting deputy, newspaper said.

The Pentagon and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Democrat Jim Himes, a ranking member of the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Senator Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee condemned Haugh's firing.
Warner is definitely Deep State ground zero

#8 Any connection to the overheard Signal conversation?

An interesting question!

My first guess is a general housecleaning. But I would be interesting in hearing more. Like, why is the FedGov using a janky commercial app for semi-important conversations?
