Stewart Baker, a Department of Homeland Security official until January, has re-joined the law firm Steptoe & Johnson. He will focus on technology and security issues for the firm, including cybersecurity, encryption and surveillance.
Baker became the first DHS assistant secretary for policy in 2005, and before that served as general counsel to the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, the committee charged with investigating the intelligence failure in Iraq. Prior to that, he was general counsel to the National Security Agency and deputy general counsel to the Department of Education. He has also clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens.
