Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer is taking her fight to court, claiming that a crude joke by comedian Bill Maher cost her a prestigious job in the White House.
In a bombshell leaked deposition made public this week, Loomer alleges that Maher’s suggestion of an affair between her and President Donald Trump was not just a punchline, but a calculated smear that destroyed her professional future.
The drama centers on a $150 million lawsuit Loomer filed against HBO and the Real Time host after he joked in September 2024 that she might be in an "arranged relationship" with the President.
Loomer’s legal team accidentally leaked the 200-page deposition, where she vents her fury over being labeled a "groupie" and a "bimbo." She insists the claims are 100% false, stating she has never even been alone in a room with Trump.
Loomer argues the fallout was immediate and devastating. She claims the "sexist" and "misogynistic" comments didn't just invite harassment from Trump haters, they actively blocked her from an official administration role.
She pointed to the massive success of figures like Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre, noting that a White House job is a golden ticket to book deals and high-paying contributor roles at networks like Fox News.
However, the defense has a massive "receipt" of its own. During the deposition, Loomer admitted that a potential role was actually rescinded before Maher's joke ever aired, following a scathing report by the New York Times.
Whether a judge believes the joke was the "final nail" or just a comedian being a comedian is the multimillion-dollar question. For now, Loomer says she is fighting to protect her reputation as an "investigative journalist," even as the court tries to re-seal her spicy testimony.
