Laura Loomer
Informal loyalty enforcer for Trump administration. Has driven the firing of 15-16 federal officials across NSA, Cyber Command, NSC, DOJ, HHS, and DoD. Launched Loomered Strategies, a for-profit opposition research firm actively pitching government vetting contracts to the White House Presidential Personnel Office. Holds Pentagon press credentials. Has Trump's direct cell phone number and Oval Office access.
Background
Laura Loomer (b. 1993) is a far-right political activist who ran for Congress twice — FL-21 in 2020, FL-11 in 2022 — losing both races. She raised $3.14 million across both cycles, spending nearly all of it on fundraising overhead. Her campaign committee ended 2022 essentially broke: $11,714 cash on hand, $16,097 in debts. No leadership PAC was ever formed.
Her significance is not electoral. Since 2024, she has transformed into the most consequential informal power broker in the Trump administration — a private citizen with no security clearance, no government title, and no accountability structure who directly shapes the leadership of America’s national security apparatus.
The Kill List
Loomer has driven the firing or removal of at least 15-16 federal officials across six agencies:
| Official | Position | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Gen. Timothy Haugh | NSA Director / Cyber Command Chief | April 2025 |
| Wendy Noble | NSA Deputy Director | April 2025 |
| 6 NSC staffers | National Security Council | April 2025 |
| April Falcon Doss | NSA General Counsel | July 2025 |
| Jen Easterly | Former CISA Director (West Point offer rescinded) | July 2025 |
| Maurene Comey | DOJ SDNY prosecutor | July 2025 |
| Terry Adirim | CIA Center for Global Health Services | April 2025 |
| Dr. Vinay Prasad | FDA vaccine chief | 2025 |
| Adam Schleifer | DOJ Assistant U.S. Attorney, LA | 2025 |
The verb “Loomered” has entered political lexicon — meaning to be fired or publicly destroyed for alleged disloyalty to Trump.
Method of Operation
- Intelligence gathering: Tips from social media followers, government officials, personal research, and the Loomered Strategies tip line (launched July 2025 for federal employees to anonymously report “disloyal” colleagues)
- Private escalation: Contacts cabinet officials directly (Hegseth, Bondi) with findings
- Public pressure: Escalates to X posts (1.7M+ followers) generating millions of impressions if private channels fail
- Direct presidential access: Has Trump’s cell phone number; secured Oval Office meeting in April 2025
- Sustained campaigns: Maintains pressure for days to months (Comey campaign: 2 months)
Loomered Strategies — The Monetization Engine
In March 2025, Loomer launched Loomered Strategies, a Montana-registered LLC co-owned with Eric Silverstein (Long Island, NY), who operates the anonymous X account @CcpSkipTracer. The firm offers “executive-level vetting, opposition research, intelligence, rapid response.”
Key details:
- 5 clients (identities unknown — the single most important unanswered question)
- ~$300,000 gross income reported
- Actively pitched to White House Presidential Personnel Office for government contracts to vet incoming Trump administration staffers
- Montana LLC structure provides privacy and tax advantages despite Loomer being Florida-based
This creates a self-reinforcing influence loop: demonstrate power by firing officials, monetize that power through a consulting firm, use the firm to identify more targets, fire more people, attract more clients. If Loomered Strategies secures government vetting contracts, a private citizen with no security clearance would be formally vetting federal employees for “loyalty” — a historically unprecedented arrangement.
Pentagon Press Credentials
In November 2025, Loomer received Pentagon press credentials despite having no journalism credentials and having recently attacked Defense Secretary Hegseth publicly. CNN reported she spoke directly with Hegseth “to discuss her work on finding disloyal employees in the Department of Defense.” A sitting defense secretary collaborating with a private citizen running a for-profit opposition research firm on personnel decisions.
