in World News President Trump Fires at Least Three “Neocon” National Security Staffers After Laura Loomer Oval Office Meeting – Loomer Responds
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 as 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.
