Former Department of Government Efficiency official Jeremy Lewin will not take a job at the White House National Security Council after conservative activist Laura Loomer raised concerns about his past ties to liberal constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe, Politico reported.

Lewin had been expected to start the White House job, but those plans were scrapped after Loomer highlighted his ties to Tribe, according to the report.

In a post on X Monday, Loomer cited a Boston Globe report saying Lewin helped write an amicus brief supporting transgender rights and sent a text message to classmates celebrating Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

"I had heard about Jeremy Lewin's desire to work in the White House about a month ago," Loomer told Politico.

"There were rumblings that he was trying to get a White House position, and so I already had all of my oppo ready to go."

After leaving DOGE, where he helped dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, Lewin moved to the State Department.

He had been scheduled to begin Monday as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs at the White House National Security Council, two people told Politico.

Lewin will remain at the State Department, where he has been helping oversee the U.S. response to the earthquakes in Venezuela, Politico reported. He serves as undersecretary of state for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs, and religious freedom.

"Jeremy has been a tremendous fighter for the President's agenda," Mike Needham, deputy national security adviser, said in a statement to Politico.

"His efforts have transformed a corrupt foreign aid regime that funneled taxpayer dollars to activist liberal NGO's [nongovernmental organizations] into a well-run system that advances America First objectives."

Loomer told Politico that a State Department official called to urge her to stop targeting Lewin, arguing that he had done good work at the department, but she said the outreach did not change her view.
