A bipartisan chorus of House Armed Services Committee members expressed profound unease Friday about the Trump administration’s management of the military’s cyber operations.
The concerns, expressed at a hearing of the committee’s cyber panel, revolve around several matters, including the firing in April of the general who led U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, as well as cuts to the command’s workforce and what members called inadequate readiness.
Some Democrats also said they are unhappy about a halt in March to U.S. cyber operations and planning against Russian threats and what they worry is a retreat from countering certain forms of disinformation online.
