NEW: With National Counterterrorism CenterDir. Christopher Miller now physically at @DeptofDefense, who is running NCTC?

NCTC is deferring to the White House
For the moment, Christopher Miller is still listed on NCTC's website as the director Image
It should be noted that NCTC does not have a permanent deputy director

Darryl Fengya is acting deputy director

Pamela Duke is acting executive director ImageImage
We've inquired with the White House about who is leading NCTC... no answer yet
