<p>WASHINGTON — Up to ten officials from President Donald Trump&#8217;s National Security Council were fired following a White House visit from activist journalist Laura Loomer, who reportedly presented opposition research on several White House staffers to the president.</p>
<p>Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/03/trump-laura-loomer-fire-national-security-council">first reported the firings</a> on Thursday, suggesting that the firings were linked to Loomer&#8217;s Wednesday visit to the Oval Office in which she reportedly presented Trump with research on National Security staff and pressed Trump to fire specific individuals. A source familiar with the meeting told Axios that that the firings were &#8220;being labeled as an anti-neocon move.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump confirmed the personnel moves to reporters aboard Air Force One, but didn&#8217;t directly credit Loomer for them.</p>
<p>“We’re always going to let go of people — people we don’t like or people that take advantage of or people that may have loyalties to someone else,&#8221; Trump told reporters on Thursday.</p>
<p>“Laura Loomer is a great patriot. She’s a very strong person,&#8221; Trump said, when asked about the activist reporter. “She makes recommendations and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations. I listen to everybody and then I make a decision. She always has something to say and it’s usually constructive &#8230; She recommended some people for jobs.”</p>
<p>That official told Axios that Loomer was angry that &#8220;neocons&#8221; had &#8220;slipped through&#8221; the Trump administration&#8217;s vetting process, saying: &#8220;She went to the White House yesterday and presented them with her research and evidence.&#8221; The official also said that three senior NSC members had been fired, and as many as ten staff members had been fired total, warning that it was looking like a &#8220;bloodbath.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/politics/nsc-firings-trump-laura-loomer-meeting/index.html">reported Thursday</a> that three of those fired are Brian Walsh, Thomas Boodry, and David Feith. Walsh was director for intelligence and a former staffer for Marco Rubio. Boodry was a senior director for legislative affairs who formerly served as Mike Waltz&#8217;s legislative director in Congress. Feith was a senior director overseeing technology and national security matters who had previously served in the State Department under the first Trump administration.</p>
<p>National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and director of the Presidential Personnel Office Sergio Gor also took part in the meeting, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-waltz-laura-loomer-national-security-council-959b718b04b240c5c8ba3736b4d8aa62">the Associated Press reported</a>. Axios reported that Loomer did not believe the staff she presented to Trump were sufficiently loyal to his agenda.</p>
<p>NSC spokesman Brian Hughes declined to comment on the firings, telling The Daily Wire that the NSC does not comment on personnel matters.</p>

<p>Loomer did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire, but in a <a href="https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1907820422902448173">post on X</a> on Thursday morning, she accused &#8220;people in and around the West Wing&#8221; of leaking to the &#8220;hostile, left-wing media&#8221; about Trump&#8217;s private meetings in the Oval Office.</p>
<p><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">&#8220;I want to reiterate how important it is that people who gain access to the White House or the administration respect the privacy of their conversations with President Trump and his senior staff,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Out of respect for President </span><span class="r-18u37iz"><a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump">@realDonaldTrump</a> </span>and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my research findings,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Per the president&#8217;s travel pool, Waltz, Wiles, Gor, and a few other senior officials accompanied Trump to Florida.</p>
