Right-wing activist Laura Loomer sues Bill Maher over Trump affair claims: report
Right-wing activist Laura Loomer is suing HBO comedian Bill Maher over a suggestion he made that she was in a sexual relationship with Donald Trump, TMZ reported Tuesday.
Maher's remark followed commentary about the Sept. 11 conspiracy theorist traveling with Trump to several campaign events, despite not being an official part of his team.
During his Sept. 13 Real Time show, he questioned whether the two were having an affair — with Loomer hitting back with a complaint that she was defamed, TMZ reported.

Legal documents shared with TMZ state Loomer's complaint that the claim was damaging to her reputation and was "false, malicious, and defamatory."
She denied any illicit relationship with the ex-president.
A week after the show, Trump attacked Maher on TruthSocial as a "mess" with low ratings.
Loomer seeks $150 million in damages.
