President Trump has dismissed several “disloyal” staff members of his National Security Council team, shortly after he met with investigative journalist Laura Loomer who reportedly raised doubts about them.

The Washington Examiner pointed out that Loomer previously has charged that there were members of the staff who were disloyal to Trump, and further there have been “vetting failures” at the NSC.

The report said the firings came a week after there was a leak of a Signal app group chat, but NSC spokesman Brian Hughes said the organization doesn’t comment on personnel matters.

In that Signal chat case, someone added the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, a virulently anti-Trump publication, to an administration discussion about terrorists in Yemen.

Loomer posted a statement saying, “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 @realDonaldTrump 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.”

The Gateway Pundit, in its report, called it a “‘neocon’ bloodbath.”

The report continued, “Per CNN, here are the names of the three known terminated officials and their titles:
Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former lead staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who formerly served as NSA Director Mike Waltz’s legislative director in Congress. David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security. He previously served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration.”
