In a recent Oval Office meeting, Laura Loomer, known for her far-right views and conspiracy theories, presented a list of accusations against members of the National Security Council, leading to the dismissal of multiple officials at President Trump's instruction. This incident reflects Trump's tendency to heed advice from unconventional sources, a trend magnified in his second term due to a reduced number of advisors who would typically filter such influences. The spate of firings, driven by Loomer’s claims, alarmed seasoned Trump officials, particularly concerning the unexpected removal of Gen. Timothy Haugh, who was in Japan during his termination notice.
Ms. Loomer, the far-right agitator and conspiracy theorist, held a stack of papers that detailed a litany of accusations about disloyal members of the National Security Council.
The events of Wednesday and Thursday, with more than a half-dozen national security officials fired on the advice of Ms. Loomer, unsettled even some veteran Trump officials.
