President Donald Trump shook up his national security team on Thursday by firing senior officials on the National Security Council after a visit with far-right activist Laura Loomer, who indicated that she presented him with research on administration officials she suspects of insufficient loyalty to his agenda.
Although it was not immediately clear why the officials were fired, Loomer visited the White House on Wednesday.
At least four senior officials were fired afterward, including three with ties to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
They were David Feith, who oversaw technology and national security and worked at the State Department in Trump's first administration, Brian Walsh, a former aide to Rubio in his U.S. Senate office who oversaw intelligence matters, and Thomas Boodry, who handled legislative affairs for former Rep. Michael Waltz, Trump's current national security adviser. Boodry also worked for Rubio in his Florida Senate office.
