The director of the National Security Agency ( NSA ) and a number of other officials were fired  , in what Axios describes as an “anti-neocon move”.

Traditional advocate Laura Loomer had met with Trump in the Oval Office the night before and is applauding the layoffs.  ,
” The vetters should have been more important given the fact that the Pentagon revoked the safety information and certification for retired public Mark Milley, who called President Trump a FASCIST”, Loomer posted on X.
” Why would we want Milley’s hand-picked option for NSA DIRECTOR? We do not! And he was referred for firing”.
Loomer told the Washington Post that she had urged Haugh’s blasting because he was “handpicked” by Gen. Mark A. Milley. Milley was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2023 when Haugh was nominated to guide Cyber Command and the NSA.
Trump was plagued during his first word with national safety advisers making harmful leaking for what appeared to be social reasons. Any tinge of treachery or debate may be grounds for termination in the current Trump White House.
Purging “neocons” from the national safety formation was greeted with endorsement from Trump supporters. They are seen as liable for “forever war” and a totalitarian perspective.

In a discussion with investigators on Air Force One on Thursday, Trump confirmed the layoffs at the National Security Council.
” We’re always going to let go of people — people we don’t like or people that take advantage of]us ] or people that may have loyalties to someone else”, he said.
Trump praised Loomer and said” she makes advice… and often I listen to those comments… I listen to everybody and therefore I make a decision”.
Trump said Loomer recommended some persons for work at the White House but denied she had anything to do with the layoffs.
He called Loomer a “great patriot” . ,
Haugh and Noble were never told why they were being fired.  ,
” Why would we want Clapper’s student at the NSA”? Loomer wrote on X. ” Of course Wendy Nobel]sic ] was referred for firing”, she added. ” She is a Trump whiner who was nominated by JOE BIDEN”.

Gen. Haugh was in charge of Cyber Command when the incredible exploit of U. S. telco by China in the” Salt Typhoon” activity penetrated about every major telecom network in the United States. Democrat Sen. Mark Warner called Salt Typhoon the “worst telecoms hack in our nation’s past — by way”. The assault occurred over many years and went undetected by Haugh’s Cyber Command.
