The director of the National Security Agency, General Timothy Haugh, was one of the numerous officials of the extreme right right Laura Loomer urged President Donald Trump to eliminate during his official meeting of the Oval Office earlier this week, citing evidence of disasters, they say multiple sources to ABC News.
At its Oval Office meeting, Loomer presented to the presidents printed research archives that compiled on several government officials, not only of the NSA and the National Security Council, but also of other federal agencies, including the State Department, Fuentes said. He urged the president to take measures against those who, according to her, were unfair or were appointed during the administration of former President Joe Biden, the sources added.
Haugh, who is the director of the NSA and also directs the cybernetic command of the United States, and his civil deputy Wendy Noble, were retired from their positions, according to an American official. His shots occurred after Loomer’s meeting with the president on Wednesday.

Loomer seemed to confirm his participation in a publication about X, writing: “The director of the NSA, Tim Haugh, and his deputy Wendy Noble have been unfortunate to President Trump. That is why they have been fired … thanks to President Trump for being receptive to the investigation materials provided and thanks for saying goodbye to these retreats.”
Trump recognized Thursday that Loomer has made recommendations and that sometimes he listens, but said he was not involved in NSC’s shots after his meeting on Wednesday.
“So Laura Loomer is a very good patriot. He is a very strong person, and I saw her yesterday for a while. He makes recommendations of things and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations, as I do with everyone. I listen to everyone and then make a decision,” Trump said.

In Publication separated Thursday nightLoomer said he reported names of “unfair people” in the NSC to Trump. On Friday, she wrote in x who planned to launch “more names of people who should not be in the Trump administration due to their questionable loyalty and past attacks against President Trump. “
When asked about these recent publications of Loomer, the White House referred ABC News to Trump’s previous comments about his recommendations.
Loomer’s participation occurs after weeks of public and private pressure, the sources said, since he raised concerns about the administration investigation process and the inclusion of officials that he perceives as unfair for the president.
Loomer has frequently extended erroneous information. In July, he said in a social media post, without citing evidence, that President Joe Biden had a medical emergency after landing at the Andrews joint base.
He had also begun statements without foundation about the family members of Judge Juan Merchan in the case of New York Hush money from Trump, including his daughter published a false photo of Trump in jail on social networks, which the court has denied. He promoted Trump to share Loomer’s publications and spread the rumors.
Lomer accompanied Trump to several campaign events last fall, a measure that caused criticism of some Republicans at that time.
