Washington Post: Trump-installed NSA lawyer resigns after being on administrative leave for three months
CNN
National Security Agency general counsel Michael Ellis, who was installed by Trump officials in the final days of the administration, resigned from his post on Friday after being on administrative leave since the start of the Biden administration, according to The Washington Post.
"I have been on administrative leave for nearly three months without any explanation or updates, and there is no sign that NSA will attempt to solve the issue. I therefore resign my position, effective immediately," Ellis wrote to NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone in a letter published Saturday by the Post. Fox News first reported Ellis' resignation. Ellis said in his letter that Nakasone had declined to meet with him to "resolve any concerns you might have related to my selection" as general counsel, adding that his lawyer had also requested "information so I could help address any misunderstandings or concerns."More Related News
