A Republican lawmaker criticized President Donald Trump's decision to fire Gen. Timothy Haugh, the director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and head of the U.S. Cyber Command, after a recommendation from far right activist Laura Loomer last week.
Concretely, Rep. Don Bacon said in an interview with CBS News that the decision "puts us back" and claimed that "Russia and China are laughing at us today because we just fired the absolute best leaders." A member of the Armed Service Committee, he anticipated there will likely be "some oversight" on the decision.
