Inside Laura Loomer's rise: 'Obsessive' research, Oval Office visits

Laura Loomer’s application for a White House press pass has gone unanswered for months. The jobs she said President Donald Trump wanted her to take working for him have never materialized.

And yet, there she was in the Oval Office on July 24 - her fourth time at the White House since Trump returned to office - after the president invited her during a recent phone call.

It was the latest example of the unlikely access that Loomer, a 32-year-old, Florida-based MAGA activist and right-wing journalist, has with the world’s most powerful man.

Loomer has taken credit for the ouster of several federal employees, including former national security adviser Michael Waltz and some on his staff; Vinay Prasad, the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator; and, most recently, Jen Easterly, whose appointment to the faculty at West Point was rescinded last week. Her posts on social media have preceded other high-profile decisions, including the order ending Hunter Biden’s Secret Service detail, which came after Loomer reported that he was being accompanied by agents on a trip to South Africa this spring.
