Leading figure of the far right Laura Loomer issued a groveling public apology to the president-elect Donald TrumpSriram Krishnan, AI advisor to , after “accidentally doxxing” him.
Loomer took a break from his scheduled programming on X, including saying Elon Musk censor then demands her blue check, only to blurt out an apology after revealing some of her personal information when she released her Federal Election Commission records.

I deeply apologize for accidentally doxxing Sriram @sriramk by sharing public FEC records with their personal information. It was an honest mistake and I take full responsibility for it. I deleted the post and I promise I will be more careful in the future when posting FEC records.

She later deleted the post and said Krishnan, who moved to the United States on an L-1 (intra-company transfer) visa in 2007 to work at Microsoft, may have “felt like I was trying to “doxx” him.
Doxxing is the act of maliciously revealing a person’s private information. “I deeply apologize for accidentally doxxing Sriram @sriramk by sharing public FEC records with their personal information.
“It was an honest mistake and I take full responsibility for it. I deleted the post and I promise I will be more careful in the future when posting FEC records,” she continued.
She had earlier said she did not intend to “do harm”.
“I was posting FEC records which are public information. I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, what if @sriramk I felt like I was trying to do “doxx”. him, I sincerely apologize,” Loomer wrote. “I promise I wasn’t doxxing and I believe more talking is the answer. Not less,” she added, tagging Elon Musk .
Krishnan has become a MAGA lightning rod in recent days after his name was dragged into a debate over H-B1 visas. He has already expressed support for visas, which are widely criticized by Republican extremists because the system, they say, hinders the individual progress of Americans while exploiting foreign labor.
Loomer also previously expressed his dismay that Krishnan was named AI advisor to President-elect Trump.
Loomer did not immediately respond to request for comment.
