Trump downplays the role of far-right activist in firings of NSC staff [View all]
(NPR) President Trump is downplaying reports that far-right activist Laura Loomer influenced National Security Council firings on Thursday.
Trump confirmed that some number of people were fired but would not specify how many or why. "Always we'll let go (of) people — people that we don't like or people that we don't think can do the job or people that may have loyalties to somebody else," he told reporters on Air Force One Thursday night.
Loomer addressed her role in the firings in a post on X Thursday night.
"You know how you know the NSC officials I reported to President Trump are disloyal people who have played a role in sabotaging Donald Trump?" adding that the fired officials were "being defended by" commentators on CNN and MSNBC.
