Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, who was also the head of U.S. Cyber Command, was one of several national security officials fired on the advice of a conspiracy theorist.

No reason was given for the removal of Gen. Timothy D. Haugh. The far-right activist Laura Loomer had called for his ouster in a meeting with President Trump, an official said.
Gen. Timothy D. Haugh was appointed to his posts by President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a fact that caused the Trump administration to view him skeptically, former officials said.
