CV NEWS FEED // President Donald Trump dismissed several National Security Council (NSC) officials following an Oval Office meeting with conservative activist Laura Loomer, multiple sources confirmed Thursday.
The 30-minute meeting, during which Loomer presented Trump with a list of NSC staff members she viewed as disloyal to his foreign policy agenda, took place Wednesday.
According to the New York Times, which first detailed the meeting, Vice President JD Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and other senior officials were also in attendance.
Shortly after the report was published, Loomer confirmed on social media that she had met with the president but declined to share specifics, citing respect for Trump and the confidentiality of the Oval Office.

Among those dismissed were Brian Walsh, David Feith, Thomas Boodry, and Maggie Dougherty – all officials involved in either intelligence, technology, legislative affairs, or international organizations.
Loomer has recently stepped up public efforts to identify and remove federal officials she claims are not aligned with the administration’s policies.
“If you worked with SPIES WHO LIED for years… you have no business being at the NSC,” she wrote in a recent X post.
If you worked with the SPIES WHO LIED for years, all while knowing what they did while on CIA payroll during the 2020 election to run cover for Hunter Biden, you have no business being at the NSC.
I’m committed to protecting President Trump & his administration from bad actors. https://t.co/XKkL6okLi9
Speaking with commentator Steven Crowder, Loomer emphasized: “The importance of vetting, vetting, vetting… I literally have a binder of receipts. I know who’s loyal, and I know who is disloyal.”
The firings come amid continued scrutiny of the NSC. In March, Waltz mistakenly added a journalist to a secure Signal chat discussing military operations in Yemen. While some sources report that Trump expressed frustration with Waltz over the incident, he has opted to keep Waltz in his current role.
