At least three National Security officials were forced out after the far-right activist pressed Trump.
President Donald Trump has fired at least six officials from the National Security Council after far-right personality Laura Loomer pushed for the shake-up in an Oval Office meeting.
Senior Director for Intelligence Brian Walsh, Senior Director for International Organizations Maggie Dougherty, and Senior Director for Legislative Affairs Thomas Boodry were amongst those fired, per the New York Times.
The firings mark the latest salvo in Trump’s long-simmering antipathy toward the National Security Council, which was fueled in part by a spat with former NSC staffer and whistleblower Alexander Vindman.
