Trump Fires Multiple National Security Council Officials After Meeting with Far-Right Activist Laura Loomer
In a significant shakeup within the White House, President Trump has fired several National Security Council officials following a private meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer. Reports indicate that Loomer raised concerns about the loyalty of these aides, which allegedly prompted the president to act. Trump confirmed the firings and acknowledged that he occasionally takes advice from Loomer, despite downplaying her role in the decision-making process. The move has sparked chaos in the administration, with multiple sources confirming the dismissals over loyalty concerns. This purge reflects ongoing tensions within Trump’s National Security Council and raises questions about the influence of far-right figures in presidential decision-making.
