Far-right activist Laura Loomer has claimed credit for the cancellation of a classified intelligence meeting between Democratic Senator Mark Warner and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The Virginia senator said Tuesday that the Trump administration blocked his scheduled oversight visit after Loomer launched what he called a campaign of baseless attacks on social media.
Warner, who serves as vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had arranged the meeting weeks earlier at NGA headquarters in Springfield, Virginia. The meeting was supposed to be a routine oversight session with career intelligence professionals who work at the agency. Warner said he has held more than a dozen similar meetings with NGA and other intelligence agencies in Virginia under both Democratic and Republican presidents, including during Trump’s first term.
