The director of the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States, Timothy Haugh , was fired yesterday by Donald Trump. The number two of the NSA, Wendy Noble, was also fired. And with them four other officials of the National Security Council.
The decision, which has infuriated Democratic congressmen, comes, as reported by the American media , at the request of far-right activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who had come to general attention for being the author of the fake news reported by Trump at a rally according to which Haitian immigrants eat dogs and cats.
According to an anonymous member of the administration and as reported by the American media, Loomer, 31, compiled a list of people deemed "not loyal" to the president, showing up at the White House yesterday with a folder full of "evidence" to show Trump. During the meeting, he harshly criticized several officials, including the six later fired, in front of Trump, Vice President JD Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, the man who had mistakenly included Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in the Signal chat with the plans for the attack on the Houthis and who is still in his position.
Haugh and Noble “have demonstrated disloyalty to President Trump. That is why they were fired,” Loomer wrote on X. He also said in a statement: “It was an honor to meet with the president and show him the data we collected.”
