President Trump reportedly fired several White House national security aides on Thursday after right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer dished dirt on their supposed “disloyalty” — despite no apparent disciplinary action for the leaked Signal group chat scandal. At least six and as many as 10 membe rs of the National Security Council got the boot after Loomer unloaded a dossier of research about their alleged hawkish “neo-conservative” views in a Wednesday night Oval Office chat with Trump, the New York Times first reported. One White House aide called the firings a “bloodbath,” with several other NSC staffers being bounced to other government agencies in what amount to demotions, Axios reported. The staffers, who were vetted by Trump’s team before being hired just weeks ago, were said to be ousted over Loomer’s allegations that they support potential American overseas military actions and are unfriendly to Trump’s foreign policies. I will continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting, for the sake of protecting the President and our national security,” Loomer said in a statement. The Loomer meeting, which came as Trump’s late day announcement of shocking tariffs stunned global markets, included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who was the boss of the fired staffers, along with Vice President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania). Far right-wing activist Loomer has been a much less regular sight in Trump’s inner circle in recent months after she was effectively banned from traveling on Trump’s private plane during the campaign by Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. It wasn’t clear how Loomer got back into the president’s good graces. A self-styled conservative blogger, Loomer has a long history of explosive and offensive remarks including claiming the Sept. 11 attacks were an “inside job” and deriding Americans of South Asian descent. The house cleaning came despite the fact that neither Waltz nor anyone else has faced the music over their roles in the shocking Signal chat. Waltz set up the group chat on the commercially available app for senior Trump aides to discuss an impending U.S. military strikes on pro-Iran Houthi militants in Yemen. He inadvertently added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to the group. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth detailed the unfolding March 15 attack, including timing, weapons used and targets in real time, which national security experts have called a remarkably dangerous breach of operational security. Goldberg disclosed the snafu, including mixed opinions about the strike by officials like Vice Presdident JD Vance. He later published the chats verbatim after Trump officials publicly claimed they couldn’t remember how specific they were. ...read more read less
