Loomer Denies Paid Tweets as Post Reports Undisclosed Political Deals

Private clients paid Trump ally Laura Loomer for political posts on X without public disclosure, the Washington Post reports, citing a former Trump campaign adviser and three other people familiar with the arrangements.

Loomer denies being paid to tweet. “I’m not some influencer that makes money from tweeting. My business is public affairs and opposition research,” she told the newspaper.

What the Records Show

The report, published November 7, 2026, by Drew Harwell and Scott Nover, describes bank transaction emails and a wire-transfer statement that appear to show four payments totaling more than $60,000 since May 2025. The recipients were Loomer and King Breaker Media, a Florida company registered in her name.

The documents do not specify what the money bought. Two people familiar with the arrangements told the Post the payments were for political posts.

The newspaper’s sources include Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign who operates political consulting firm X Strategies. Two anonymous sources said they paid Loomer directly; a third said they oversaw clients who did.

Two of the people put the price at $3,000–$5,000 per post, sometimes more. Loomer rejected that account: “I certainly don’t charge $5,000 for a tweet.”

Bruesewitz and Loomer Differ on the Work

Bruesewitz publicly acknowledged paying Loomer in a November 5 exchange on X, also reported by Mediaite. “No I don’t deny that. I’ve paid you for tweets before. I haven’t for at least a year though.”

He told the Post he paid her through X Strategies in 2025 for tweets about policy issues, declining to identify the clients. He said such arrangements needed clearer disclosures and had “gotten out of hand.”

His public acknowledgment did not specify whether the posts he purchased carried disclosures. The report does not establish that all four payments, or the entire sum exceeding $60,000, came from him or his firm.

Loomer described the assignment differently. She said Bruesewitz paid her “to make a one-page research document” and wanted the information distributed. Asked where, she replied: “Either X or maybe an article.”

Asked how that differed from being paid to tweet, she said the assignment was to produce the document and that Bruesewitz had said he would have it distributed, according to the Post.

Clients Seek a White House Audience

One anonymous source who paid Loomer or oversaw payments said some clients hired her on the assumption that her messages would reach a White House audience. That describes their intentions, not evidence that Trump acted on any paid post.

The White House declined to comment to the Post. No end-clients or specific paid posts were publicly identified in the report.

Clash Report previously covered Loomer’s interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Nothing in the payment reporting establishes that interview was paid.

In separate reporting on paid political messaging, Clash Report examined offers of payments to influencers to campaign against Hamas. No connection to Loomer is reported.
