Joseph Maguire (born August 14, 1951)[1] is an American officer who served as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center and Acting Director of National Intelligence under President Donald Trump. He retired from the United States Navy as a vice admiral in 2010 after 36 years of military service.[2] Prior to retiring from active duty, he was the deputy director for strategic operational planning at National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).[3]
Appointed by President Donald Trump, Maguire became Acting Director of National Intelligence on August 16, 2019,[4] a role he held during the Trump–Ukraine scandal. On September 13, 2019, the House Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena to Maguire alleging that he was unlawfully withholding a whistleblower complaint from the committee; he testified before the committee on September 26.[5][6][7]
