Former President Donald Trump has removed Gen. Timothy D. Haugh from his dual role as head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, with no official reason given. The firing follows pressure from far-right activist Laura Loomer, who reportedly discussed Haugh's removal with Trump. In a separate move, Trump’s administration also dismantled a CDC lab focused on sexually transmitted disease outbreaks, resulting in the layoff of 10,000 workers. These actions have sparked criticism from top Democrats, who warn that such purges could undermine national security and public health. The firings appear to be part of a broader effort to reshape key government agencies in line with MAGA-aligned priorities.
