Influencer Laura Loomer, who is known for claiming that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job, laid out her concerns to Trump on Wednesday, the New York Times said in a report followed up by other outlets.
Six people from the NSC were sacked after the Loomer meeting, including three senior officials on the body which advises the president on top foreign policy matters from Ukraine to Gaza, the New York Times said.
The activist later said she had presented “opposition research” to the Republican president.
Trump described Loomer as a “great patriot” but said she was “not at all” involved with the reported NSC firings.
NSC spokesman Brian Hughes told AFP the council “doesn’t comment on personnel matters.”
She sparked accusations of racism when she said on social media that Trump's Democratic rival Kamala Harris -- whose mother was of Indian descent -- would make the White House “smell like curry” if she won.
She baselessly suggested that he was responsible for accidentally adding Atlantic magazine journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat, even though National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has taken responsibility for the error.
But US media have reported that Waltz is considered by some in Trump's orbit as too tied to neo-conservative policies, rather than Trump's “America First” approach.
