NSA installs DHS lawyer as new general counsel
Medium
Summary
The National Security Agency (NSA) has appointed Kerianne Tobitsch, a former Homeland Security lawyer and Jones Day partner, as its new general counsel. This appointment follows a series of high-level departures within the agency, including the firing of a previous general counsel and a probe into alleged political interference during the Trump administration. The role is critical for overseeing legal reviews of clandestine operations, particularly concerning Section 702 of the FISA Act, which governs the NSA's collection of foreign communications.
