Trump Fires Six NSC Officials Following Laura Loomer Meeting

The firings reflect Trump's push for loyalty within his administration, with Loomer influencing decisions after raising concerns about staff alignment with his agenda.

President Donald Trump dismissed six National Security Council officials after far-right activist Laura Loomer presented allegations of disloyalty during an Oval Office meeting.
The fired officials include Brian Walsh, Thomas Boodry, David Feith, and others, with reports suggesting additional dismissals may occur.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz attended the meeting and attempted to defend his staff but appeared to have limited influence over the decision.
Loomer, a controversial figure known for conspiracy theories, has gained significant access and influence within the Trump administration, raising concerns about her role in personnel decisions.
The firings come as Waltz faces heightened scrutiny over a Signal group chat leak that exposed sensitive military planning details, further destabilizing the NSC.
