Donald Trump’s decision to remove Mike Waltz as his national security adviser could be followed by a mass firing of White House staff being dubbed “The Purge”, according to a report.
The dismissals could come as soon as late next week, sources have told Politico, with one insider saying “a lot” of employees will be let go over perceived loyalty concerns, with the US president preferring to announce their removal in one sweeping gesture, rather than in piecemeal fashion one by one.
