Overview

  • Loomer’s online smear campaign against April Falcon Doss culminated in the NSA general counsel’s removal on July 29 after she reposted a Daily Wire article on July 23 and alerted senior aides.
  • The NSA website has since deleted Doss’s profile, redirecting her biography page to an error message.
  • This action follows Loomer’s earlier interventions that prompted President Trump to fire NSA Director Timothy Haugh and deputy Wendy Noble in April and spurred resignations at the FDA and Justice Department.
  • President Trump has publicly endorsed Loomer as "a very good patriot" whose recommendations he takes seriously.
  • Sen. Mark Warner and other bipartisan leaders warn that these influencer-driven dismissals threaten the impartiality of national security institutions.
