Activist Laura Loomer Accused of Undisclosed Paid Political Posts

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer accepted money from private clients to publish political messages on social media without disclosing the payments, according to a report released on Saturday. The allegations were brought forward by Alex Bruesewitz, a former aide to Donald Trump's campaign, along with three other individuals familiar with the arrangements. Loomer has disputed the characterization of her professional activities.

Two of the three additional sources told The Washington Post that they personally paid Loomer to post political content on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Loomer maintains a following of nearly 2 million users on the site. All three sources spoke anonymously to the newspaper regarding the financial arrangements.

The publication reviewed bank transaction emails and a wire transfer statement indicating four payments totaling more than $60,000 since May 2025. The funds were transferred to Loomer and King Breaker Media, a Florida-based company registered in her name. The financial documents did not specify the purpose of the transfers, though two sources familiar with the deals stated the money covered political posts.

Bruesewitz and the other sources declined to publicly identify the specific posts for which they said they paid Loomer, citing client privacy concerns. They provided a selection of posts for the newspaper to examine under the condition that the posts would not be made public. The allegations first became public on Thursday when Bruesewitz raised them on X.

In an interview with the newspaper, Bruesewitz said he had paid Loomer for posts throughout 2025. He did not identify the clients on whose behalf he arranged the payments. Loomer offered a different account of her dealings with Bruesewitz. She said he paid her to prepare a one-page research document and then asked her to distribute its contents. She said she carried out that request while denying his allegation.

Two interviewees alleged that Loomer charged between $3,000 and $5,000 for each post. Loomer rejected that claim, specifically denying that she charged $5,000 for a tweet. She described her business as public affairs and opposition research and stated that she also operates a media company.
