Trump Says Conspiracy Theorist Laura Loomer ‘Makes Recommendations’ and ‘Sometimes I Listen to Those’

President Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force on Thursday that he often listens to advice from far-right activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer.

Trump denied reports Loomer played a role in his administration’s decision to fire three National Security Council staffers after she laid out grievances against them.

Loomer was present during a Wednesday Oval Office meeting along with National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Per numerous reports, Loomer accused the officials who were let go of being “neocons.”

Axios reported three people were dismissed when Loomer said they “slipped through” a vetting process to ensure no George W. Bush-era Republicans ended up working for Trump.

The New York Times reported, “Ms. Loomer walked into the White House with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character and loyalty of numerous N.S.C. officials, two of the people said. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the national security adviser Michael Waltz, who was also in the meeting.”

Aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed some staffers had been fired. He denied Loomer had anything to do with the firings during a conversation with numerous reporters.

“Yeah, so Laura Loomer is a very good patriot,” Trump said when asked about the meeting. “She’s a very strong person and I saw her yesterday for a little while she has – she makes recommendations of things and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations like I do with everybody. I listen to everybody and then I make a decision. But I saw her yesterday she was at the ceremony. She’s – she’ll always have something to say – usually very constructive.”

Trump said Loomer made some job recommendations but denied he fired anyone on her behalf.

“She recommended certain people for jobs,” Trump said. “Well, she’ll recommend [firings] too, but yesterday she recommended some people for jobs.”

Trump was also asked who Loomer had recommended for White House jobs.

“Well, I don’t want to say that,” he replied. “But she’s recommended some good people over the years. She’s been in the party a long time, she’s done a good job.”
