The Trump administration has fired the director of the National Security Agency as well as his deputy, prompting outrage from congressional Democrats.
Director Gen. Timothy Haugh was ousted late Thursday along with his civilian deputy Wendy Noble, a decision that followed the firing of several other top NSA staffers earlier that day.
Haugh, who also leads the U.S. Cyber Command, has more than 30 years experience in the U.S. Air Force and led numerous cyber operations to counter efforts from Russia and other U.S. adversaries.
