Trump Fires Multiple NSC Staff After Loomer Meeting

Following a meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer, President Donald Trump has fired several members of his National Security Council (NSC). Loomer urged Trump to dismiss aides she deemed disloyal during their discussion, which included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. Reports indicate that at least three officials, including Brian Walsh, Thomas Boodry, and David Feith, were let go, with sources describing the situation as a 'bloodbath.' This decision appears to be linked to Loomer's influence, particularly after her criticisms of the aides' loyalties and associations. The firings come amid ongoing scrutiny over a recent leak concerning military discussions, further complicating the NSC's internal dynamics. While some aides were confirmed to have been dismissed, it remains unclear whether Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Alex Wong, criticized by Loomer, was among them.
