President Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon confirmed that he has dismissed multiple National Security Council employees, which comes after questions surfaced about their loyalty to his agenda.

The president did not confirm how many people were fired, but previous reports indicate that as many as six people were fired. The dismissals occurred after a meeting Trump had with loyalist and right-wing activist Laura Loomer on Wednesday.

"Always, we’re going to let go of people we don’t like, or people we don’t think can do the job, or people who may have loyalties to somebody else," Trump told reporters on Air Force One, Fox News reported.

It is not clear if any of the fired officials were part of the Signal chat controversy last month, in which a reporter was mistakenly invited to a national security chat by one of National Security Advisor Mike Waltz's staffers.

The names of the staffers who were reportedly fired have also not been made public.

Trump also stated that he continues to trust his national security team, stating they had done "very well" and had "big success with the Houthis."
