US President Donald Trump acknowledged taking advice from far-right media personality Laura Loomer regarding the firing of Timothy Haugh, the director of the National Security Agency (NSA). Haugh's removal, confirmed by the Department of Defense, has sparked criticism amidst allegations of a purge of security officials. While the Pentagon praised Haugh's service, Democratic senators criticized the decision, highlighting Trump's lack of accountability regarding previous scandals, particularly the use of Signal for sensitive discussions, arguing it compromises national security.
"By dismissing him and failing to hold anyone accountable for the threat to U.S. pilots over Signal, Trump has shown he values loyalty over competence, making us all less safe."
"Trump refused to fire the people that embarrassed America and risked servicemembers' lives in the Signalgate scandal."
