Biden nominates Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh as director of NSA and Cyber Command
- President Biden nominated Air Force Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh to serve as the director of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command.
- Haugh currently serves as the deputy commander of U.S. Cyber Command and has years of experience in cyber operations.
- If confirmed, Haugh would replace Gen. Paul Nakasone, who plans to step down later this year after leading the agencies since 2018.
- Haugh's nomination may face obstacles in the Senate due to Sen. Tommy Tuberville placing holds on all Defense Department nominations to protest the agency's abortion travel policy.
