Biden taps Lt. Gen. Haugh to head NSA, Cyber Command.

President Joe Biden has nominated U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh to serve as the new head of both U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, replacing Gen. Paul Nakasone. Haugh, who had been generally expected to get the nod, has been involved in the Pentagon’s cyber efforts for years. However, he may face a bumpy road to confirmation now, given that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has placed a hold on all Defense Department nominations in protest of the agency’s abortion travel policy.
