PRESIDENT Donald Trump has fired several White House National Security Council officials – and there’s more to come, sources claim.

The decision reportedly came after the Republican was urged by far-right activist Laura Loomer to purge staffers she deemed insufficiently loyal to his agenda, people familiar with the matter said.

Loomer is said to have presented her research to Trump in an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday which is where she made her case for the firings, sources said.

Vice President JD Vance, chief of staff Susie Wiles, national security adviser Mike Waltz and Sergio Gor, the director of the Presidential Personnel Office, took part in the meeting, they added.

It is unclear whether the controversy of last month’s Signal messaging thread sent to a journalist has played a detrimental role in the firings.

Staffers fired from the NSC on Thursday reportedly include Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence, as well as Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs, and David Feith, a senior director overseeing tech and national security, CBS News reports.

Loomer, who has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, was a frequent presence on the campaign trail during Trumps 2024 successful White House run.

More recently, shes been speaking out on social media about some members of Trumps national security team that she insists can’t be trusted.

Loomer said on X: “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.”

‘Pathetic free-loaders’

Trump’s top team has launched an astonishing broadside against America’s European Allies – branding them “pathetic free-loaders” in leaked messages mistakenly sent to a journalist.

The private Signal chat, used as a virtual war room by Trump’s national security heavyweights, was accidentally shared with Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who published the explosive texts.

In the exchange, Vice President JD Vance grumbled: “I just hate bailing Europe out again.”

Trump’s defence secretary Pete Hegseth replied: “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.”

The disclosure reveals the degree of contempt within the Trump administration for Europe’s contribution to global defense, with Ukraine at the centre of escalating transatlantic tensions.

Other messages saw officials wrangle over US strikes against Houthis in Yemen, with Vance warning they risked clashing with Trump’s hardline stance on Europe.

“I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now,” he wrote.

“There’s a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices.”

Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz, who reportedly added Goldberg to the chat, is now facing the sack – with one insider telling Politico:  “Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing: Mike Waltz is a f***ing idiot.”
