Steve Clemons tweets, CORRECTING story about fired Secret Service staff -Cybersecurity chief fired




I finally have wifi again. On plane. 1st, the people forced to resign were different parts of WH security, shared space with @SecretService






The @SecretService responded that they are not the agency that had management changes last night. Another Agency did.






Nicole Mainor of @SecretService said "later today there’s likely to be a statement issued by another government agency"






I have confirmed that the Chief of Information Security at White House forced to resign. Was error in tagging him as Secret Service. 1/2






Others - not sure how many - attached to White House security/cyber security/info security - resigned last night & escorted out of EEOB




And Clemons just tweeted this link to the Obama WH archive about the cybersecurity chief, which I'd found just before his tweet:
