Overview

  • Laura Loomer held a private one-on-one meeting with Vice President JD Vance on June 3 in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
  • She did not meet President Trump during this visit and left the White House complex after the session.
  • In April, Loomer met with Trump and shortly thereafter several National Security Council staffers and senior National Security Agency officials were dismissed after she labeled them disloyal.

  • Multiple Trump advisers told Wired magazine that Loomer’s usefulness may be waning as some find her influence tiresome despite her direct line to senior officials.
