Far-right activist Laura Loomer has spoken with Trump administration officials about utilizing her opposition research firm to assist in “vetting operations” of White House personnel – a task she recently undertook to recommend President Donald Trump fire several National Security Council officials.

Loomer, a conspiracy theorist and close Trump ally, launched her research firm, Loomered Strategies, just last month, offering opposition investigation, “executive level vetting” and rapid response.

The conservative media personality pitched her new endeavor to officials in the Presidential Personnel Office in a bid to obtain a contract to vet Trump administration staffers and officials, two people familiar with the matter told Politico.
