Trump fires multiple National Security aides after Loomer meeting

Following a recent meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer, President Donald Trump has dismissed several National Security Council (NSC) staffers, reportedly based on Loomer's claims of their disloyalty. At least three officials, including Brian Walsh, Thomas Boodry, and David Feith, were fired shortly after Loomer presented a list of alleged 'disloyal' aides, with speculation that Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong may also be ousted soon. Loomer, who has a controversial background and has previously made baseless claims, expressed her gratitude for the meeting and emphasized the need for rigorous vetting of staff. The firings have been described as a 'bloodbath' within the NSC, which has experienced significant turnover since Trump took office. Critics of Loomer have raised concerns about her influence on the president, especially given her history of inflammatory remarks. The recent changes come amid ongoing scrutiny of the administration's handling of national security personnel.
