BREAKING NEWSTrump fires staff of 'idiot' adviser embroiled in Signal scandal after urging by controversial MAGA influencer
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 03, 2025 | NIKKI SCHWAB, CHIEF CAMPAIGN CORRESPONDENT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Posted on 04/03/2025 8:52:28 AM PDT by Red Badger

President Donald Trump has fired several members of his National Security Council team.

DailyMail.com confirmed an Axios report released Thursday morning.

The dismissals come after National Security Advisor Michael Waltz accidentally added The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat where top administration officials were discussing an attack on the Houthis in Yemen.

Trump has publicly supported Waltz, a former Florida congressman, in the aftermath of Signalgate, despite some White House insiders labeling him a 'f***ing idiot.'

However The New York Times reported Thursday morning that far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer visited the Oval Office on Wednesday and pressed for NSC firings.

Loomer came to the White House armed with research that purportedly showed that some NSC staffers were not loyal enough to the president.

'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,' Loomer told DailyMail.com Thursday.

'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 strong vetting, for the sake of protecting the President and our national security,' she added.

Good to know Laura Loomer is making personnel recommendations.

The names:

“But CNN reported Thursday that the individuals fired were Brian Walsh, Thomas Boodry and David Feith.”

Wong is American, with parents who immigrated from China.

Loomer also floated that Wong isn’t loyal because his wife had worked at the Department of Justice during Obama and Biden administrations and her father was a shareholder of a Chinese satellite maker.

‘I don’t know why we have Chinese individuals in positions of national security,’ she said of Wong in an online video posted last week.

The axed officials include Walsh, a director for intelligence who previously worked for now Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Boodry, Waltz's former legislative director in Congress who was a senior director for legislative affairs and Feth, who oversaw technology and national security. Feth had served in the State Department during Trump's first term.

This is the public face of a government IT idiot who is passed off as a so-called expert on technology and security. No sane person would think that the arrangements used in signal where you decrypt the message for any recipient regardless of whether he is cleared and authorized is anything but a huge security flaw.

“far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer”

This types of idiotic labeling is why the Daily Mail demonstrates every few minutes that they are not a worthwhile source of unbiased information.

Loomer must have had the ‘receipts’.

I note the standard media phrase “far right” in the article, but note that somehow, the “far left” has evidently been eliminated from society.
Except in the DemocRAT party, the media, Hollywood, universities, and all the other low-T and very low IQ idiots out there.

Very interesting if true.

Every senior staff member in so many of these executive branch agencies needs to be fired. The names of these people always seem to read like the same bucket full of @ssholes who have polluted the Beltway for years.

It's no coincidence that David Feith is the son of Douglas Feith -- one of the notorious "neo-conservative" denizens of the GWB administration.

I don’t follow Loomer, but Waltz and Tom Cotton defended the employees.

Trump’s always right, but this one puzzles me.
