Summary
More than $60,000 in four payments since May 2025 went to Laura Loomer and her company, King Breaker Media, according to bank and wire records reviewed by The Washington Post.
Two people said they paid Loomer directly for political posts on X, where she has 1.9 million followers, and another said clients paid $3,000 to $5,000 per tweet to reach Trump’s orbit.
Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump 2024 adviser, said he paid Loomer through his firm for policy-related posts last year, while Loomer denied being paid to tweet and said she was hired for research and consulting.
The allegations sharpen scrutiny of political influencers operating in a legal gray area: FTC endorsement rules do not cover political ads, though California now penalizes undisclosed paid political posts.
Loomer’s sway matters because Trump has acknowledged listening to some of her personnel recommendations, underscoring why undisclosed paid messaging could carry influence inside the White House.
