60-Second Summary

Senator Mark Warner's meeting with a US intelligence agency was cancelled due to online attacks by far-right activist Laura Loomer. Loomer, who has ties to the Trump administration, launched a campaign against Warner and the agency director, accusing Warner of being anti-Trump. Warner criticized the administration for yielding to Loomer's pressure, calling it unprecedented and dangerous. He argued this sets a dangerous precedent, undermining nonpartisan staff and civilian oversight of national security. Loomer's influence within the administration is evident in past incidents, including staff firings and visa restrictions based on her complaints.
