Far-right activist Laura Loomer has claimed that President Donald Trump‘s Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, is on the verge of resigning from her role in the Trump administration, citing internal tensions and recent congressional testimony.
In a post on X, Loomer, one of the president’s closest allies, alleged that Gabbard’s political staff “expect that she is about to resign,” pointing to the recent resignation of colleague Joe Kent, Trump’s former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), as a potential precursor.
Loomer further claimed that one of Gabbard’s close advisers believes she could depart soon, though neither the White House nor Gabbard herself has issued any official confirmation.
Loomer on Gabbard testimony
Loomer’s criticism centers on Gabbard’s testimony before Congress earlier this week, where the former Hawaii congresswoman stopped short of endorsing President Trump or his recent policy decisions surrounding Iran.
Loomer wrote,
Instead, she used her time during the hearings to affirm President Trump’s right to make decisions as President of the United States, making it clear she doesn’t support those decisions.”

Loomer added, “President Trump should not allow Gabbard the dignity of a resignation, followed by her immediately trashing him on MSDNC, CNN, The View, and Tucker Carlson’s podcast.”
In her congressional testimony, Gabbard emphasized that it’s the president’s role—not the intelligence community’s—to determine “imminent threat” in the context of Iran. When pressed on Kent’s claims, she declined to clearly agree or disagree, offering a measured, noncommittal response.
The controversy comes amid broader upheaval following Kent’s resignation, which Kent’s statements have directly linked to the president’s attack on Iran.
At the same time, former national security adviser John Bolton weighed in on the situation during an appearance on MS NOW’s Morning Joe, saying, “I’m glad he resigned. I hope Tulsi Gabbard resigns soon afterward. If you don’t believe in the administration’s policy, you should resign.” He added, “There is division within the top ranks of the administration. This is proof of it,” according to The Hill.
Meanwhile, Loomer is known more for provocative commentary and spreading viral claims than for maintaining a consistent track record of verified political predictions.
She has, at times, made assertions about political figures or internal party dynamics that later appeared directionally accurate—for example, speculating about tensions within Republican circles or the trajectory of certain candidates.
However, these instances are difficult to separate from the broader volume of claims she regularly makes, many of which are unverified, exaggerated, or ultimately do not materialize.
Fact-checking organizations and major news outlets have repeatedly scrutinized Loomer for spreading misinformation, particularly on social media. Fact-checkers and investigators have debunked several of her past claims, ranging from election-related allegations to conspiracy theories. As a result, platforms have banned or restricted her at various times, though she continues to maintain a presence on X.
“You’re trying to get her fired”
A comment on Loomer’s post noted, “If she were going to resign, it would have been before now. The way this reads is that you’re trying to get her fired. Your need to insinuate yourself into the President’s business is very strange. No one voted for you.”
