Haugh was among those fired from their positions after Laura Loomer raised an alarm about them. A couple of Democrats were quick to criticize the decision. Senator Mark Warner questioned how this firing makes America safer. Representative Jim Himes was reportedly deeply disturbed by this firing. Questions about their loyalty were among the issues that contributed to their being removed from their positions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Military Times:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Always we&#8217;re letting go of people,&#8221; Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he made his way to Miami on Thursday afternoon. &#8220;People that we don&#8217;t like or people that we don&#8217;t think can do the job or people that may have loyalties to somebody else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The firings come as Trump&#8217;s national security adviser Mike Waltz continues to fight calls for his ouster after using the publicly available encrypted Signal app to discuss planning for the sensitive March 15 military operation targeting Houthi militants in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>Warner said Thursday night, &#8220;It is astonishing, too, that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the National Security Agency while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app &#8212; even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haugh met last month with Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency has roiled the federal government by slashing personnel and budgets at dozens of agencies.
