A “neocon” bloodbath occurred at the National Security Council on Thursday, and we may have conservative journalist Laura Loomer to thank for this.
As CNN reported, President Trump fired at least three National Security Council staffers at the agency. The terminations occurred one day after Loomer visited the Oval Office and met with the president.
During Loomer’s meeting with Trump, CNN reported she asked Trump to fire several National Security Council staff members, including his principal deputy national security adviser, Alex Wong. Axios notes she was livid that multiple “neocons” had made it through the vetting process and obtained jobs in the administration.
CNN reported that one firing came as a direct result of Trump’s meeting with Loomer. It’s unknown whether the others were related or already in the works.
Per CNN, here are the names of the three known terminated officials and their titles:
Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former lead staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who formerly served as NSA Director Mike Waltz’s legislative director in Congress.
David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security. He previously served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration.
CNN reports that it’s unclear whether Wong was also let go. Axios says up to 10 members of the NSC staff may have been fired.
News of these firings come as Waltz has been blasted for adding Trump-hating ‘reporter’ Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat with JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio where attack plans against Houthi terrorists were discussed.
Since the incident, The Gateway Pundit has revealed Waltz and an aide allegedly used Gmail for communication and more questions have emerged regarding his relationship with Goldberg. Moreover, we have learned that Waltz’s staffers set up at least 20 other Signal chat groups to discuss Ukraine, China, Russia and more.
Loomer responded to today’s news with a statement on X, which she later gave to CNN.
“Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump,” she wrote. “It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my research findings.”
“I will continue working hard to support his agenda, and I will continue reiterating the importance of, and the necessity of STRONG VETTING, for the sake of protecting the President of the United States of America, and our national security,” she added.
