Overview

  • On August 1, Laura Loomer launched a tip line inviting administration insiders to report 'disloyal' colleagues, describing it as therapy for frustrated staffers.
  • Although she holds no official role, Loomer acts as a de facto personnel director in the West Wing by leveraging direct access to President Trump.
  • Her loyalty vetting campaign has contributed to the firing of over a dozen senior officials across the National Security Council, NSA, FDA and West Point.
  • Loomer says she has informants in the West Wing and every major federal agency and plans to target hundreds more perceived holdovers and appointees.
  • Bipartisan critics warn that outsourcing personnel decisions to a far-right activist bypasses formal processes and threatens institutional integrity.
