Washington Post Says Laura Loomer Took Undisclosed Payments to Post Political Messages

Private clients have paid right-wing activist Laura Loomer to publish political posts on social media without any public disclosure, The Washington Post reported Saturday, citing a former Trump campaign aide and three other people it described as familiar with the arrangements. The Kacee Allen Network has not independently verified the arrangements or the payment records.

Loomer rejects the core claim. According to Mediaite’s account of her comments to the Post, she said, “I’m not some influencer that makes money from tweeting. My business is public affairs and opposition research. I also have a media company. It’s not illegal to make a living in America.” She also told the paper, “I certainly don’t charge $5,000 for a tweet,” and denied having set prices for her consulting work, Mediaite reported.

What the Post reported

The story, by Drew Harwell and Scott Nover, was posted at 11:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 7. Its one named source is Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign; the other three spoke anonymously.

As summarized by HuffPost, two of the anonymous sources said they paid Loomer directly to post on her X account, which has about 1.9 million followers, and the third said clients they worked with had paid her. The paper said it examined emailed bank notices and a wire statement that appeared to reflect four transfers since May 2025, worth more than $60,000 in all, to Loomer or to King Breaker Media, a Florida company registered in her name. Mediaite reported that those documents do not state what the money was for, and that two sources put the price of a post at $3,000 to $5,000.

Competing accounts of the Bruesewitz work

After Tuesday’s midterm elections, in a public clash on X with Loomer, as quoted by The New Republic, Bruesewitz wrote, “No I don’t deny that. I’ve paid you for tweets before. I haven’t for at least a year though.”

Loomer described that work differently to the Post. “He paid me to make a one-page research document for him, and then he wanted me to distribute the information. And that’s what I did,” she said, according to Mediaite.

Disclose.tv relayed the Post’s findings on X at 12:40 p.m. EST without adding new evidence.

Kacee Allen’s X post

Excerpt from Kacee Allen’s X post (Nov. 7, 2:00 p.m. EST): “WaPo: Laura Loomer has been taking undisclosed payments from private clients to post political content on X—reportedly $3k–$5k per tweet, with bank records showing >$60k to her and her company King Breaker Media.”

Analysis

The central transparency question is whether readers were told when political material came from a paid client relationship. The Post’s sources describe paid posting, while Loomer describes public-affairs and research services. The News Desk has not examined the underlying records and cannot resolve those competing accounts.

Kacee Allen’s commentary: Paid influence and America First

This section is commentary reflecting the views of Kacee Allen, not News Desk reporting. Allen sees the alleged paid political messaging as another example of the influence-buying machinery he has long criticized, including the Israel lobby, AIPAC and the wider foreign-policy establishment. His America First position is that American politics should serve American voters, not undisclosed paying interests.

Reporting cited here does not establish that AIPAC, Israel or a foreign government financed the payments described; Allen’s broader commentary is not evidence of that connection.
