IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump’s National Security Council was rocked by a string of firings on Thursday, just 24 hours after conservative firebrand Laura Loomer visited the Oval Office. Sources say Loomer handed Trump “research and evidence” targeting “neocons” on the Council—holdovers from the Bush-era foreign policy establishment. By the next day, multiple NSC members, possibly as many as 10, including senior directors, were out the door.

A U.S. official said that Loomer was livid about “neocons slipping through” the administration’s vetting process, and while it’s not yet confirmed her visit directly sparked the purge, the timing indicates a possible connection. The source called it an “anti-neocon move,” while the official warned of an ongoing “bloodbath.” still unfolding.

The firings also follow “Signalgate,” which saw National Security Advisor Mike Waltz accidentally loop an anti-Trump journalist into a group chat about strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. However, no connection between the firings and this misstep has been established.
