Biography

[edit]

Born in 1969,[6] Haugh is from Hughesville, Pennsylvania, and graduated from high school there in 1987. He was commissioned through AFROTC at Lehigh University. His father was an enlisted navigator in the United States Marine Corps.[7][8] In May 2023, Haugh was nominated for promotion to general and appointment as commander of the United States Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency, and chief of the Central Security Service.[9][10][11][12] On 30 November, Sen. Ron Wyden pledged to block the vote confirming Haugh as director of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command until the NSA releases information on the alleged purchase and use of data collected on American citizens.[13] The U.S. Senate approved the nomination and his promotion to the rank of general on 19 December.[14]

On 3 April 2025, Haugh was relieved of his positions.[15] The New York Times reported that Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist, met with president Donald Trump the day prior and called for Haugh to be fired due to alleged "disloyalty" to Trump, according to an unnamed U.S. official. Trump directed secretary of defense Pete Hegseth to dismiss Haugh.[16]
