Laura Loomer Claims She Found Out ‘Real Reason’ Why Pete Hegseth Vanished From Fox News
Key Points:
- Trump loyalist Laura Loomer alleged that Fox News blacklisted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth due to a dispute over the Pentagon's press corps agreement requiring outlets to sign reporting restrictions.
- Loomer claimed the Pentagon chose Fox correspondent Lucas Tomlinson over Jennifer Griffin for department trips, angering Fox News executives who then retaliated by excluding Hegseth from the network.
- Hegseth, a former Fox host and Trump administration official, has not appeared on Fox News since October 2025, despite continuing to appear on other networks.
- Mediaite has not independently verified Loomer's claims and Fox News has not responded to requests for comment.
- Observers note the absence is unusual given Fox News' typical support for Trump administration figures and Hegseth's previous close ties to the network.
