the DOJ in a previous administration, or is married to someone who once worked for the DOJ under Obama.
Behind the scenes: The U.S. official said Loomer was furious that "neocons" had "slipped through" the vetting process for administration jobs, referring to hawkish foreign policy views commonly associated with the Bush administration.
"She went to the White House yesterday and presented them with her research and evidence," the official said. Loomer's visit was reported earlier by Status and The New York Times. The official suspected that the firings were linked to Loomer's visit but was not certain.
The U.S. official named three senior NSC members who had been fired, and said it was shaping up to be a "bloodbath." Axios is seeking additional confirmation before naming those people.
The source familiar said several people had been fired, possibly as many as 10, including senior directors. An NSC spokesperson declined to comment.

According to a story in the Washington Post (Yes, I know already!) Loomer has it in for anyone who she considers not loyal enough to El Jefe. She claims to have done yards and yards of "opposition research" leading to the discovery of mixed political heritage or insufficiently pure associations, and recently took a private meeting with the President to illuminate those she deems not worthy. Heads rolled shortly afterward and continue to do so.
