General Tim Haugh has been ousted as NSA Director amid bipartisan alarm regarding national security implications. His removal, driven largely by far-right activist Laura Loomer, marks a significant reshuffle following other military dismissals this year. Democratic leaders strongly condemned the purge, criticizing Trump's prioritization of loyalty over expertise. Haugh, who has over three decades of service, was due to testify on cybersecurity challenges, raising concerns about the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence operations amidst rising threats from China and elsewhere. As this situation unfolds, the impact on national security strategies remains uncertain.
