Laura Loomer recently sat for a deposition pertaining to her defamation lawsuit against HBO’s Bill Maher, who suggested Loomer might be having an affair with President Donald Trump in September of last year after Loomer accompanied Trump to his one and only presidential debate with Kamala Harris.
It went how you might expect.
LOOMER WAS OFFERED A JOB BY DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF IN 2023
According to Loomer, a self-styled white nationalist who has celebrated the drowning deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, Trump himself tried to hire her to work on his campaign back in 2023.
“I was actually told that I was going to be working for President Trump when he hired me in his office in March of 2023 during a private meeting with him and Susie Wiles at Mar-a-Lago. And this was during the primary. And President Trump had actually instructed Susie to onboard me to do research, and — research — yeah — research for — and perhaps assist with communications
as well, in the primary,” explained Loomer, who said a New York Times story about her ended up sinking her chances of landing a job with the campaign. “And the president was very impressed by just how well-versed I was. And he was very impressed by my reporting and my understanding of political affairs. And so he said that he wanted to hire me on the spot, even though it was not a job interview.”
…AND THEN AGAIN IN 2024
After being asked if she had ever been offered a job by Trump or members of his staff again, Loomer answered in the affirmative, recalling that Trump had told her “You’re coming to D.C. with me” and that she “had conversations with Susie Wiles that I would have a position at the White House after the election if — if President Trump won.”
“I was promised a position multiple times, not just by President Trump, but also, by Susie Wiles,” she asserted.
LOOMER FORESAW A LUCRATIVE MEDIA CAREER AFTER SERVING TRUMP
After serving Trump in the White House, Loomer believed she would be well set-up to enjoy a cushy, lucrative media career — perhaps on TV.
Check out this exchange between Loomer and HBO lawyer Katherine Bolger:
BOLGER: So other than your claim that the reporting about your response to Mr. Maher stopped you from traveling on the airplane and you say getting a job in administration, is there any other financial damage that was caused by Bill Maher reporting?
LOOMER: As I said before, I would have been paid much more than I was making previously. And who knows what I could have parlayed having that on my resume into in the future. There are people that go on who work for administrations who get to go work at boards. There’s people that get to have foundations. They get to go work in future administrations. They get to, you know, get paid for speaking engagements once they leave their official role with the federal government. You don’t know. You know, there’s people that write books. They — there’s people that get to go become Fox News contributors. They become contributors on mainstream media. Look at — look at somebody like Jen Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre, for example. You know, they both have shows. Karine Jean-Pierre just announced a book deal today. So when you work for an administration, once the person is out of office, or once you’re done with your job, you know, that could parlay into a lot of speculative opportunities
BOLGER: Speculative opportunities —
LOOMER: It’s not speculative. It’s — it — it really is — it’s compounding, is what it is. It’s compounding damages. It’s punitive damages.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND ARBY’S
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Loomer recently reignited their feud, which began last September when Loomer suggested that the White House would “smell like curry” if Harris defeated Trump in a post on X.
“This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever,” declared Greene in a quote tweet of Loomer.
Loomer responded by mocking Greene for her infidelity and referencing “the Arby’s in your pants.” That led to the following discussion between her and Bolger in their deposition:
BOLGER: Can you explain to me what it means to say to her that “the Arby’s in her pants”?
LARRY KLAYMAN, LAURA LOOMER’S ATTORNEY: Objection. Relevancy.
BOLGER: Answer the question.
LOOMER: Arby’s sells roast beef.
BOLGER: Right. Can you tell me what — why you were talking about “the Arby’s in her pants”?
LOOMER: Well, it’s just a — an expression.
BOLGER: What is the expression trying to convey?
LOOMER: It conveys the reason why she got a divorce by her own admission.
BOLGER: Because she had roast beef in her pants?
LOOMER: Yeah.
BOLGER: She’d put roast beef in her pants; that’s what you’re trying to say there? You’re literally saying she put Arby’s in her pants?
LOOMER: I’m saying she literally — it’s so ridiculous. I’m saying she literally put Arby’s in her pants. Yes.
KLAYMAN: Objection. Relevancy.
It went on like that for some time.
‘YOU’RE A COWARD’
At one point, Bolger attempted to get Loomer to admit that she was talking about Harris’s vagina when she tweeted that Harris had an “infested snatch,” but Loomer refused, causing Bolger to blow up on her:
BOLGER: You wrote a sentence saying she had an “infested snatch”; what is your basis?
LOOMER: I don’t know what I was referring to, honestly. I could be referring to Kamala Harris, herself.
BOLGER: What? Of course, you’re referring to Kamala Harris.
LOOMER: Yeah. I’m talking about Kamala Harris herself.
BOLGER: You’re talking about her body; you’re talking about her vagina?
LOOMER: No. I’m just talking about Kamala Harris.
BOLGER: Well, a snatch is a vagina; isn’t it?
LOOMER: It’s up for interpretation.
…
BOLGER: You wrote — stop talking. You wrote a tweet that says that Kamala Harris had an “infested snatch.” Now, be the First Amendment warrior you claim to be and admit that you were saying that the vice president of the United States had an infested vagina. Admit it. Because that’s what you were doing, and everybody knows it.
KLAYMAN: Let’s say it.
LOOMER: This is coercion. You just told me to stop talking. I’m not going to talk. I’m not going to be coerced. You’re — you’re asking me to say something —
BOLGER: God. You’re a coward.
LOOMER: that isn’t true. I’m not a coward.
BOLGER: You’re a coward; you won’t even admit to what you did.
LOOMER: I’m not a coward. I’m just not going to be —
BOLGER: Ms. First Amendment warrior won’t admit it.
