Laura Loomer prompts NSC housecleaning
The past thirty-six hours have seen something extraordinary – and vital: major housecleaning at the National Security Council. Yesterday President Donald J. Trump fired at least six, or as many as ten, employees of the National Security Council. New and legacy media outlets are giving credit to – or heaping blame on – Laura Loomer for getting those people fired. Further revelations show that many of these people were Biden administration holdovers. Whether any of them had anything to do with “Signal-gate” remains unclear. What is clear is Donald Trump’s newfound willingness to listen to those warning that previous administration employees are suspect. That applies even more to those handling “secret events” than to Cabinet officers.
What Laura Loomer has to do with the NSC firings
Laura Loomer does not work in or for the Trump administration. She is an independent, freelance investigative journalist who specializes in exposing left-wing officials and cause seekers. As such she has the luxury of investigating anyone she considers suspicious, without regard to any inside political considerations.
On Tuesday (April 1), Laura Loomer had a meeting with Trump in the Oval Office; yesterday she posted about it. She shared little about that meeting, other than its having taken place, and the subject of her concerns.
I woke up this morning to learn that there are still people in and around the West Wing who are LEAKING to the hostile, left-wing media about President Trump’s *confidential* and *private* meetings in the Oval Office. 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.
Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump. It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my research findings. 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.

Then came the news that Donald Trump had fired several National Security Council employees. Axios said only that Trump fired “several” NSC staff members. Then CNN named three specific names:
Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee;
Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress;
David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration; and
Maggie Dougherty, senior director for international organizations.
Note: other outlets quoting this CNN report do not mention Ms. Dougherty’s name – why not, remains unclear. (The New York Times mentions her name, but not Feith’s name.)
Later yesterday, CNN named two other names:
- General Timothy Haugh, director of the National Security Agency and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, and
- Wendy Noble, deputy director of the NSA.
Concerning the latter two firings, Laura Loomer said this on X:
NSA Director Tim Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble have been disloyal to President Trump. That is why they have been fired.
As a Biden appointee, General Haugh had no place serving in the Trump admin given the fact that he was HAND PICKED by General Milley, who was accused of committing treason by President Trump. Why would we want an NSA Director who was referred to Biden after being hand selected by Milley, who told China he would side with them over Trump!?!?
The vetters should have been more critical given the fact that the Pentagon revoked the security detail and clearance for retired general Mark Milley, who called President Trump a FASCIST.
Why would we want Milley’s hand picked choice for NSA DIRECTOR? We do not! And he was referred for firing. Given the fact that the NSA is arguably the most powerful intel agency in the world, we cannot allow for a Biden nominee to hold that position. Thus, Haugh was fired today, along with his Obama loving protege, Wendy Noble. This is called VETTING.
His deputy, Wendy Noble is a protege of Trump hater James Clapper, who frankly, belongs in prison. President Trump has accused Clapper of spying on his campaign and Clapper falsely accused the Russians of stealing the election for Trump. James Clapper is a traitor to his country, as are all of his enablers and supporters. Why would we want Clapper’s protege at the NSA?
Of course Wendy Noble was referred for firing. She is a Trump hater who was nominated by JOE BIDEN. Additionally, Wendy Noble spent her time at the NSA promoting DEI. Their firings are a blessing for the American people.
Thank you President Trump for being receptive to the vetting materials provided to you and thank you for firing these Biden holdovers. Vetting matters!

Loomer also questioned the judgment of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, for not catching these questionable associations sooner.
That’s a question for Mike Waltz. Biden holdover in the NSC INTEL OFFICE. Transgender male to female. Fire them.
Kellie Meyer at NewsNation reported that two junior-level employees, whom she did not name, also lost their jobs.
A source familiar with the firing at the National Security Council confirms to me @NewsNation three senior officials and at least two junior officials were let go.
The reason they were all given is that it was from the Presidential Personnel Office.— Kellie Meyer (@KellieMeyerNews) April 3, 2025
Laura Loomer cited the reaction to the firings in the legacy media as further evidence against the fired officials.
You know how you know the NSC officials I reported to President Trump are disloyal people who have played a role in sabotaging Donald Trump? Because the fired officials are being defended by Jen Psaki & Andrew McCabe on MSNBC & CNN RIGHT NOW.

Look at the people who are crying about my meeting with President Trump and the firing of NSC AND NSA officials today. The people crying are the people who worked to undermine Donald Trump, members of the Democrat Party, and the mainstream media. They are furious. That’s how you know these people needed to be fired. We need to protect President Trump. Vetting matters.

Analysis
One can take many things away from this story. First, Donald Trump is displaying at least enough imagination to listen to people’s concerns about the loyalty of others. He could use more imagination, enough to “smell out” such disloyal people himself.
Second, Laura Loomer obviously is fiercely loyal to Trump, even though he did not endorse her run for Congress, and has not hired her. And perhaps this is just as well, because – again – she has no constraints on whom to expose.
Third, the legacy media have proved again, not only their disloyalty to America but also their problems with the truth. For instance, the Times quoted a year-old Associated Press story accusing Loomer of claiming that the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, were “an inside job.” This is the post that started all the trouble:
WATCH: On 9/10/01 , one day before 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld under the Bush administration said the US Government “lost” $2.3 Trillion dollars. The very next day, 9/11/01, we were attacked and nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered on US soil, which established precedent to begin the 20 year “War on Terror” and the creation of the Patriot Act. These actions destabilized the Middle East and allowed for the alphabet agencies to begin their campaign of WEAPONIZED GOVERNMENT AND MASS SURVEILLANCE against the American people.
Fast forward 22 years… On 6/20/23, the Biden administration announced the Pentagon had an “accounting error” that resulted in them sending $6.2 Billion additional dollars to “Ukraine”. In the following days, a violent coup was staged by Russian mercenaries who are members of the Wagner Group against Putin in Russia.
It doesn’t matter whether a Republican or a Democrat is in the White House. This is the UNIPARTY. This is how they operate to maintain power and create global conflict. They will do everything in their power to keep President Donald Trump from seizing control once more because President Trump is anti-war, and he recognizes that we live in a “corrupt country with a corrupt media.”
The UNIPARTY always fears the outsider. This is why they’ve offered up Ron DeSantis, who is a byproduct of the military industrial complex. We must NEVER let them win! Trump 2024.

In the very year this story came out, Laura Loomer set the record straight:
This is the tweet the media is using to accuse me of being a 9/11 conspiracy theorist even though there is an entire chapter in my book in which I talk about how Islamic terrorist attacks inspired me to do counter jihad work. I wrote about how the Islamic terrorist attack on 9/11 is being white washed to make people forget about the dangers of Islamic terrorism. The US government has provided protection to the same people who attacked us. The Biden-Harris regime offered a plea deal to the mastermind of 9/11.
My post below is about the accounting errors by our own government on 9/11. Read my words for yourself and see if what the media is accusing me of matches what you see in my actual words.
The media is going to lie because they don’t care about the truth. They want to demonize me the same way they demonize Donald Trump. Speaking to the media doesn’t work either because they deliberately lie. Read the tweet for yourself. 👇🏻
I don’t care what the media says about me. These people defended the Biden -Harris regime for making a plea deal with the 9/11 masterminds. That is worse than anything I have ever said or done. I stand by everything I have said. Because it’s the truth.

Hey, Kaitlan Collins, why did you lie tonight and deceptively cut off my actual tweet during your show? Nowhere in my ACTUAL tweet does it say 9/11 was an inside job. You deliberately took the end of a video and said it was my tweet by cutting off my actual post.
This is the tweet I posted. 👇🏻 Be honest for once in your life. You deceptively edited it out of your newscast tonight so people couldn’t see my actual tweet because if you actually showed the tweet, people would see I never said 9/11 was an inside job. Everything I said is true.
Stop with your faux outrage. The American people know our government lies about everything and your lies and gaslighting isn’t going to gain you any credibility. I am one of the few people who has actually told the truth about how dangerous Islamic terrorists are while your network refuses to even say the words ISLAMIC TERRORISM. It was Kamala Harris and Joe Biden who negotiated a plea deal with the 9/11 masterminds.
Add to it, that Laura Loomer exposed one former U.S. Congressman and Minnesota Attorney General who did say that “9/11 was a setup.”
Wow. Today, Keith Ellison, who is being floated by Kamala Harris as a pick for US Attorney General despite openly endorsing ANTIFA, advocating for ISIS and HAMAS supporters in Minnesota, falsely accused me of saying 9/11 was an inside job and called me a “9/11 conspiracy theorist”. Here’s a video of Keith Ellison saying “9/11 was a set up”. Who is the 9/11 conspiracy theorist, Keith? All the democrats do is lie.
Any veteran of any aerial bombardment campaign knows that the flak is always thickest over the target. So it is with Laura Loomer, as with President Trump himself. We should all thank God for people like Loomer, who stay on target.
