Push to get Trump to fire Dep Nat Security Adviser Wong

Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong is being targeted by conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer to be fired by President Trump.

If it happens, Wong would be at least the fourth person dismissed after conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer met with Trump to ask that he dismiss his National Security team after the Signal chat debacle.

In a post on X on March 26, Loomer specifically targeted Wong who she described as “a CHINESE Deputy National Security advisor who is married to a CHINESE US ATTORNEY who worked under Obama and Biden, and who helped prosecute J6ers after the stolen 2020 election.” Note that it was Loomer who put the Chinese identifier in caps.

She also wonders aloud if Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Signal chat on purpose.

“Given the Chinese connections, it really makes you wonder if @JeffreyGoldberg, the reporter from the @TheAtlantic was added to the Trump Signal chat on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the Trump administration on behalf of China,” she posted. “Alex Wong should be removed from his position, and both he and his wife should be investigated by the FBI @Kash_Patel @FBIDDBongino.

Wong is married to

Coming to the defense of Wong has been Republican Sen Tom Cotton (R-AR). Cotton has introduced legislation that would prevent Chinese nationals and others from countries considered foreign adversaries from purchasing land in the United States.

‘For three years, Alex worked hard for me until President Trump smartly hired him away,’ Cotton said. ‘President Trump made another great decision to hire Alex as his Deputy National Security Adviser. America is safer and better off with Alex in the White House. THANK YOU for your service, Alex!!!’ he said on social media.

However, one White House source speculated to CNN that Wong could be fired as early as today.

Sources have told CNN those from the national security team who Trump fired are Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence; Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs and and David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology.
