Laura Loomer is an American activist and online commentator who has run for Congress as a Republican and publishes political commentary under her own name.
Political campaigning and publishing
Loomer built an online following through protests, videos and social-media commentary. She ran as a Republican candidate for Congress in Florida in 2020 and 2022. The Washington Post reported that she was credentialed to cover the Pentagon in November 2025.
Trump administration access
Reuters reported that several National Security Council officials were removed in April 2025 around the time Loomer met President Trump and criticized officials she described as disloyal. Some firings preceded the meeting and Reuters did not establish that every departure was caused by Loomer.
Evidence standard
Her published criticism of government officials and encounters with Trump are documented. Her comments alone do not prove a formal White House job, security-clearance access, or command authority over cabinet appointments or dismissals.
