"Bacon wrote, This means the top two positions at NSA and the four-star commander at Cyber Command will remain vacant for 8 months and counting. We are at Cyber War every day, and the inability to get leaders in place is gross negligence. Bacon went on to blame the chaos on infighting in the White House and the involvement of whacky Laura Loomer in hiring."
"And still no explanation as to why Gen Tim Haugh was fired by the Pentagon chief earlier this year for no reason All of this happening while the US is under almost constant threat of Cyber attack by the Russians and Chinese, among others. In late April, Trump suddenly ousted Air Force Gen. Tim Haugh a four-star general with a 33-year career who led the Pentagon's Cyber Command with neither the White House nor the Pentagon ever explaining the decision."
"As for the White House infighting to which Bacon is referring, Trump-ally Laura Loomer celebrated the news of Francescon's withdrawal, writing Friday on X that his nomination was revoked following my months-long investigation that exposed Francescon's 2023 campaign donations to rabidly anti-Trump Democrat Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO). Another LOOMERED SCALP, she further touted. Notably, reports after Haugh's firing suggested a meeting between Trump and Loomer may have also been behind the general's sudden departure in April."
Three senior cybersecurity roles remain unfilled after the White House withdrew the NSA deputy nominee and a four-star Cyber Command leader was ousted without explanation. Representative Don Bacon warned that the top NSA posts and the Cyber Command commander have been vacant for months, calling the leadership gap gross negligence amid constant cyber threats. Jennifer Griffin labeled the situation shocking and noted the lack of explanation for Gen. Tim Haugh's removal. Trump ally Laura Loomer celebrated the withdrawn nomination, claiming her investigation exposed campaign donations and reports linked Loomer to Haugh's abrupt departure.
