The Trump administration has fired heads of the National Security Agency and U.S. CBS, a U.S. partner at the BBC, reported that the Trump administration has fired heads of the National Security Agency and the U.S. Cyber ​​Command.

General Timothy Haugh’s evacuation came in amid a wider removal of the agency and the White House’s top security officials.

Democrats said the move felt “deeply disturbing” to them and said it endangered national security.

It is unclear why General Hogg was removed, but this follows Wednesday’s meeting between President Donald Trump and far-right activist Laura Rummer.

Ms. Loomer reportedly urged Trump to fire specific employees, who she suspected lack of support for his agenda.

She posted General Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble on X, and the US media was fired, “Infidelity to President Trump. That’s why they were fired.”

Meanwhile, Trump denied that Ms. Rumer played a role in the firing.

Before reporting on the firing, Trump told reporters that he would get rid of any staff members who were considered unfaithful.

“We always let go of people – people we don’t like, or people who use others,” he told the Air Force One reporter.

When asked if it works, he said, “No, not at all.”

Trump commented after a meeting with Ms. Loomer, reporting that there were reports of three other White House National Security Council (NSC) officials being fired. The president did not confirm his name.

The National Security Agency (NSA) referred the BBC to the Secretary of Defense’s Public Affairs Office for comment, the company had read the report on Friday, but has not provided the report at this time and will provide more information when it is available.

The White House had previously told the BBC that the NSC “will not comment on personnel.”

The top Democrat on the House and Senate Intelligence Committee – Jim Himes, a representative of Connecticut, a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner, Virginia – revealed that General Hoch fired from CBS.

CBS reported that Himes said in a statement that he felt “deeply disturbed” by the decision.

“I know General Hauge is an honest and straightforward leader who abides by the law and puts national security first – I’m worried that these are the qualities that could lead to his firing in this administration,” Himes said.

Those shooting from the NSC on Thursday included Intelligence Director Brian Walsh; Senior Director of Legislative Affairs Thomas Boodry; and CBS reported David Feith, senior director of overseeing technology and national security.

It is unclear whether the removal of Haugh Gen and MS Noble is related to those of NSC.

The shooting happened after a major controversy involving the NSC last month when senior officials accidentally added a reporter to a signal message thread about a military strike in Yemen.

General Hauge, who is not in the signal chat, proved information about the leak on Capitol Hill last week.

The extent to which this controversy plays a role in dismissal is unclear.

So far, Trump has been represented by senior officials involved in the incident, including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who is responsible for Atlantic Magazine Reporter being added to the signal chat and said it was an accident.

According to CBS, a source familiar with the situation said the signaling incident “opened the door” to investigate employees who felt they were not consistent enough with Trump, and Ms. Rumer’s visit blocked those who were terminated.

Sources said the government has been studying external meetings held by national security personnel, condemning some people to meet with people who do not believe to be consistent with the president.

On Thursday’s trip to Air Force One in Miami, Florida, Trump praised Ms. Rummer and confirmed that he had met her, calling her a “great patriot” and a “very powerful man.”

“She makes suggestions…I listen to those suggestions sometimes,” he said. “I listen to everyone and then make a decision.”

Ms Loomer said in a call with the BBC that she revealed details of her meeting with Trump on Wednesday were “inappropriate”.

“It’s a confidential meeting,” she said. “It’s a pity that there are still leakers in the White House who leaked this information.”

She texted: “It is an honor to meet President Trump and introduce my research results to him.

“I will continue to work to support his agenda and to protect the President of the United States of America and our national security, I will continue to reaffirm the importance of strong review.”

The Acting Inspector General’s Office said Thursday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted information in the chat, now the subject of his internal review of signal usage and whether he complies with departmental policies.

Inspector Headquarters typically conduct independent investigations and audits of federal agencies and examine possible security breaches.

After returning to the White House in January, Trump evacuated many administration inspector generals and installed a acting chief of watchdogs in defense, business, labor and health departments.

Attorney Pam Bondi was asked Friday at an event in Florida if she would investigate the incident. She said she did not discuss the matter with the president and the incident was under review internally.

“There are no ones who submitted it to us,” she said. “These are intelligence agencies and they are conducting internal reviews.”
