Overview

  • On August 1, Loomer launched a public tip line to solicit reports of disloyal appointees, staffers and alleged Biden holdovers.
  • Media reports on August 3 credit her interventions with the firings of Maurene Comey and FDA vaccine official Dr. Vinay Prasad.
  • She has met privately with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance despite lacking any official advisory title.
  • Her vetting has disrupted nominations and prompted dozens of senior-level departures across national security and regulatory agencies.
  • Republicans are split over her involvement, with supporters calling it routine vetting and critics warning her extremist history threatens civil-service norms.
