Joseph Maguire (born 1952) is the current Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He retired from the United States Navy as a Vice Admiral in 2010 after 36 years of military service.[1] Prior to retiring from active duty, he was the Deputy Director for Strategic Operational Planning at National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).[2]

Appointed by US President Donald Trump, Maguire became Acting Director of National Intelligence on August 16, 2019.[3] Shortly afterwards, Maguire was head of National Intelligence during the 2019 Trump-Ukraine controversy. 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,[4][5] with Maguire to testify on September 26.[6]

Early years and education

Maguire is from Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1974 and from the Naval Postgraduate School with a masters degree in 1985.[7] He was a 1994–95 National Security Fellow at Harvard University.[8]

Naval career

He served as Commanding Officer, SEAL Team TWO from 1992 to 1994, and Commanding Officer, Naval Special Warfare Center. Maguire was the Flag Lieutenant to Commander Amphibious Forces Seventh Fleet (CTF 76) and served in the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D.C., where he was Naval Special Warfare's Assignment Officer and Community Manager. From 2004 to 2007, Maguire served as Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command.[9]

Civilian career

After he retired, Maguire went to work as a vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton.[10]

After serving for three years on the board of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a foundation which provides financial assistance to severely wounded special operations troops as well as support for the children of those troops who have died, Maguire became the President and Chief Executive Officer of the foundation in 2013.[10]

Government career

In June 2018, Maguire was nominated to be the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center by President Donald Trump.[1] This nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in December 2018.[11] He was sworn in on December 27, 2018.[12]

Acting Director of National Intelligence

On August 8, 2019, President Donald Trump announced that Maguire would become acting Director of National Intelligence (acting DNI) on August 15, 2019.[3]

Ukraine whistleblower complaint

Main article: 2019 Trump-Ukraine controversy

Maguire was acting DNI at the time that a member of the United States Intelligence Community (ICIG) submitted a formal whistleblower complaint to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IGIC), regarding President Donald Trump's communications with a foreign leader; the complaint said that Trump had made a troubling "promise" to the foreign leader.[13] (It was subsequently revealed that the complaint related to a July 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump pressed the Ukrainian government to investigate Trump's political rival, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and his family).[14]

The whistleblower's complaint was deemed credible and a matter of "urgent concern" by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IGIC).[15] Under federal law, when the IGIC determines that an complaint credibly raises an urgent concern, he or she forwards it to the relevant agency head (here, the DNI), who is required to forward it to the congressional intelligence committees within seven days.[16] In this case, however, Maguire, withheld the complaint from Congress.[17][18]

Maguire's refusal prompted the House committee to issue a subpoena to Maguire, ordering him to either immediately hand over whistleblower's complaint to Congress or give testimony to the House Intelligence Committee explaining why he was refusing to do so.[18] Schiff accused Maguire of illegally withholding a properly submitted whistleblower complaint in an unprecedented way, and said that the matter raised "serious concerns about whether White House, Department of Justice or other executive branch officials are trying to prevent a legitimate whistleblower complaint from reaching its intended recipient, the Congress, in order to cover up serious misconduct."[17] Schiff stated that Maguire has cited a "a higher authority, someone above the DNI" in his refusal to turn over the whistleblower complaint.[5]

Maguire refused to testify before the House Intelligence Committee at a hearing on September 19,[18] but later agreed to give testimony on the whistleblower complaint in an open session of the House Intelligence Committee on September 26.[19]

Maguire and his wife have two children.[20]
