She joined Trump at an event on Wednesday, and travelled to the presidential debate the day before on his plane.
The presence of hard-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer alongside Donald Trump on the campaign trail in recent days has raised questions, including from some Republicans, about the influence the controversial former congressional candidate may have on him.
Ms Loomer is well-known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric and for spreading conspiracy theories, including that the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job" carried out by the US government.
She joined Trump at an event on Wednesday commemorating the attacks, raising eyebrows and prompting outrage in some US media outlets.

Now, she is known for her vocal support of Trump and for promoting a long string of conspiracy theories including claims that Kamala Harris is not black, and that the son of billionaire George Soros was sending cryptic messages calling for Trump's assassination.
These posts led her to be banned from a number of platforms including Facebook, Instagram and even, according to her, Uber and Lyft for making offensive comments about Muslim drivers. She once described herself as a “proud Islamophobe”.
Still gross to make that accusation about someone as reprehensible as Loomer. And it let's Trump off the hook. She's not traveling with him because of sexual favors, she's traveling with him because he supports her insane views.
That gross little toadstool isn't going to suck itself! Who do you think will do that? Melania? She's busy getting plowed by her favorite secret service agent in New York.
I had never heard of her until this week. To me, she looks like they took pictures of every woman Trump is known to have been attracted to in his life, made an AI mashup of all of them, and dyed her hair dark just to throw us all off.
Born in Arizona in 1993, the self-styled investigative journalist has worked as an activist and commentator for organisations including Project Veritas and Alex Jones's Infowars.
BBC, don’t get played, man. That restraint you show with “self-styled” is just creaking terribly. Personally I would have gone with “considers herself” or “claims to be . . . despite [the obvious]”. Yeah yeah “objective”, look whatever you gotta tell yourself, man.
I don't know about her involvement with this but there's a snopes article about it. It's wholly unfounded based on some random Facebook post.
A social media post originally from a Springfield Facebook group went viral nationally in recent days. The original poster did not cite first-hand knowledge of an incident. Instead they claimed that their neighbor's daughter's friend had lost her cat and found it hanging from a branch at a Haitian neighbor's home being carved up to be eaten.
Funny you said that. I saw her photo in the thumbnail, thought the same thing, and went down a Game of Thrones rabbit hole, came back, scrolled down and found your comment. Trump isn’t exactly a Stannis though.
I think that's giving her (and him) far too much credit. This is more like a couple of mentally unwell drifters hooking up in an alley in between grifting.
She's my favourite of the RWNJs for the sheer degree of entertainment she provided the night she live streamed chaining herself to the doors of Twitter HQ wearing a star of David armband after they banned her.
I wasn't aware she was embedded in Trump's troupe nowadays but that certainly tracks.
And interesting how she saw fit to wear a yellow star on that occasion. Seemingly likening being banned from a social networking platform to being the victim of genocide.
Her and Stephen Miller should get married. It would save us all a lot of trouble of having to deal with them because they'd be too exhausted from out-crazying each other.
