Right-wing activist and commentator Laura Loomer has lost her defamation lawsuit against HBO and comedian Bill Maher. The lawsuit stemmed from a joke Maher made on his show about Loomer having sex with former President Donald Trump. A federal judge dismissed the case, ruling the statement was protected opinion and not a factual assertion. This marks a legal defeat for Loomer, who has filed numerous lawsuits against media figures and organizations.
