GOP Rep Slams Trump For Firing NSA Director: 'Russia And China Are Laughing At Us'
HuffPost
President Donald Trump fired multiple officials after a closed-door meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) is less than pleased about President Donald Trump firing Gen. Timothy Haugh, who headed both the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command until Thursday — when he was let go without a single reason divulged to voters.
“The White House fired one of our best generals and the smartest on cyber operations, and with no explanation,” Bacon told Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram on Friday. “Russia and China are laughing at us.”
Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement Friday to CBS News that the “Defense Department thanks General Timothy Haugh for his decades of service” and that the DoD wishes “him and his family well” — providing no further detail about his exit.
Several senior members of the National Security Council were also fired.
Haugh and NSA deputy Wendy Noble were both ousted after Trump met with far-right activist Laura Loomer on Wednesday, The Washington Post reported. Loomer, who has frequently shared QAnon conspiracy theories and is one of Trump’s staunchest social media supporters, told the Post she had advocated for the firings.
