NGA Director Frank “Trey” Whitworth
Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner said that a scheduled intelligence meeting was canceled after interference from right-wing activist Laura Loomer.
Warner, the Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman, said Wednesday that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency visit scheduled for Friday was called off after Loomer publicly attacked him and the NGA’s director, Vice Adm. Frank “Trey” Whitworth, NBC News reported.
“This is the kind of thing that happens in authoritarian regimes,” Warner said.
Loomer, who does not have an official position in the Trump administration, took credit for the meeting cancelation
“Following my expose of Biden appointed NGA Director Trey Whitworth, who was Mark Milley’s handpicked Director for NGA @NGA_GEOINT, Whitworth’s scheduled September 5th fireside love fest with anti-Trump Democrat Senator @MarkWarner Mark Warner has been CANCELED!” she posted Tuesday on X.

“How can a Biden appointee and someone with such bad judgement that they would invite a rabid Trump hater and Russia Hoaxer like Mark Warner to speak at NGA be allowed to remain in their job, especially under the Trump administration? @PeteHegseth should fire Trey Whitworth for insubordination.”

Warner first mentioned the incident late Tuesday, saying it was a “nakedly political decision” that “undermines the dedicated, nonpartisan staff at NGA.”
He said that the meeting was canceled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office, not the National Geospatial Agency leadership.
Warner added that he was told that such visits needed to be “bipartisan” and not carried out by a member of one political party.
A Defense Department official said that “the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency visit was rescheduled, not canceled, in order to accommodate bipartisan participation in the town hall event.” (Just the News, 9/6/2025) (Archive)
Senator @MarkWarner had a meltdown after I exposed his planned meeting with NGA Director Trey Whitworth.
Warner is a rabid Trump hater who pushed the fake Steele dossier and the Russia hoax, yet Whitworth still invited him to the NGA while disregarding his own chain of command.… pic.twitter.com/0iG768pRDa

The insanity continues.
Democrat Senators @MarkWarner and Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer just sent out a fundraising email with the subject line “Laura Loomer.”

Warner’s meltdown proves the point: D.C. bureaucrats panic when held accountable. The Pentagon canceled his meeting because oversight shouldn’t mean rubber-stamping failed policies. If career officials can’t handle scrutiny from outsiders demanding transparency, maybe the problem…

Trump selects top military intel advisor to run the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Lt. Gen.Michele Bredenkamp
President Donald Trump has nominated Army Lt. Gen. Michele Bredenkamp to lead the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon announced Friday.
NGA is both a principal member of the U.S. intelligence community and a Pentagon combat support agency. Its personnel supply the military, IC and first responders with data and intel to address their analytical and operational needs.
Bredenkamp currently serves at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as the director’s advisor for military affairs — a position she has held since January 2024. Her previous assignments include commanding general of Army Intelligence and Security Command, director of intelligence for U.S. Forces Korea, and vice director for intelligence, J-2, on the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, among others, according to her official bio. She also deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan during the post-9/11 wars.
If confirmed by the Senate, Bredenkamp will become the ninth director of NGA, succeeding Navy Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth, who has led the agency since early 2022. (Defense Scoop, 9/5/2025) (Archive)
