When Donald Trump dipped into Alabama recently for a campaign rally, he reserved a special shout-out for someone not on the ballot and often a thorn in the side of White House staff.

‘A great Republican strategist, a great person, a killer,’ Trump said, adding, ‘When she’s angry at you. It’s a very terrible situation.’

Trump was referring to Laura Loomer, the investigative journalist turned Republican operative who is known to scrutinize Trump administration figures for any sign of disloyalty to the president, waging public and private campaigns against them.

Loomer was along for the trip, donning a black pantsuit and clutching a luxury Hermès Birkin handbag. She also held a large book, an autographed sheet of paper, and a few personalized Trump hats.

Most consequentially, she also came armed with a list of questionable hires and administration officials who she claimed were undercutting the president and stopping his agenda.

‘I always come with a list,’ Loomer told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.

Loomer did not reveal who was on the list but said it was part of her ongoing effort to purge the administration of questionable characters.

The list of about ten people included people serving in the Department of Justice, the Department of State and the National Security Council, she told the Daily Mail.

‘I think that personnel is policy, and I had some conversations with him about some vetting concerns and some personnel,’ she said. ‘Choices that are concerning and alarming to me.’

Trump fired six National Security Council officials after meeting with Loomer in April 2025. Efforts by their West Wing colleagues to defend the scrutinized officials were in vain.

‘Despite the many people who complain about Laura Loomer, for the most part she is always right,’ Trump remarked on his trip to Alabama.

On this trip, Loomer was among others in Trump’s inner circle, including Natalie Harp, the president’s most trusted assistant and Bill Pulte, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who is frequently spending time with the president.

Loomer has spent nearly a decade hanging out socially with Pulte during Trump’s time in politics and said she considered him a friend.

‘He got in and he doesn’t have any loyalties to any other people. He was already a wealthy guy so he’s not trying to protect bad actors in the administration,’ she said.

‘They attack me, they attack Natalie Harp they attack Bill Pulte,’ she said. ‘The people who they always attack are the people they fear because those are the people that are going to be honest with the president.’

Loomer has also faced blame and accusations of misleading Trump during the presidential campaign, particularly after Trump said that Haitian migrants were ‘eating the dogs’ and ‘eating the cats’ of Ohio citizens. Trump aides blamed Loomer for that comment, and subsequently tried to freeze her out during the campaign.

At the time, Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina denounced Loomer as a ‘crazy conspiracy theorist who regularly utters disgusting garbage intended to divide Republicans’ but Trump said although he disagreed with some of Loomer’s controversial views she was a ‘supporter’ and a ‘free spirit.’

Loomer told the Daily Mail she was comfortable remaining outside the administration because it provided her certain liberties to speak and act freely.

She would only take a job in the White House if the president asked her to, she said, even if she was asked to be the White House press secretary.

‘If the president called and asked me, of course I would serve,’ she said, when asked about the open position.

After Trump became president, Loomer believed she would have a front row press access to the administration.

But she and her operatives in Washington, DC never received press credentials to cover the White House and her request to sit in the coveted ‘New Media’ seat for social media influencers was never accepted.

In September, Loomer publicly blamed ‘petty low level staff’ with a ‘power complex’ for blocking her getting a press pass.

‘If you fill the press room with sh*t, don’t be surprised when you get sh*t coverage,’ she concluded.

Loomer said she did not blame White House chief of staff Susie Wiles for blocking her access, telling the Daily Mail that she had a good relationship with her.

‘I get along great with Susie Wiles,’ she said. ‘She helped me get on Air Force One, she controls the manifest for the plane.’

A White House official told the Daily Mail they welcomed Loomer and that plans were underway to give her and members of her organization access to the press briefing room.

‘She’s always been a valued ally and a great asset to the president,’ the official said, confirming that Loomer and her staff were always welcome to cover events at the White House.

Regardless of her official press access, Loomer will always find her way to the seat across from the president himself on Air Force One and Marine One.

‘I got the Laura Loomer seat,’ she said. ‘So I guess that’s better. I get to hang out and eat Starbursts with the president.’

Loomer confirmed that Trump only likes pink and red Starbursts and that the president gave her a pack of them on the trip.

‘I don’t think I’ll ever eat them,’ she said. ‘I think I’ll save those forever.’
