The Army’s top civilian ended Biden’s censorship czar’s brief tenure at West Point. Jen Easterly, former CISA director and 1990 West Point graduate, was quietly named to a prestigious academic chair. The announcement disappeared quickly. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll ordered her removal. The move raises questions about the academy’s priorities.
One source said, “Her role was never about security—it was about controlling narratives.”
