"Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that the Trump administration’s recent firings and probes into the Department of Justice and the FBI could have serious consequences," the report states. It quotes Warner as saying on Sunday, “Well, if you were suddenly taking out the most experienced folks at Justice or at the FBI, how does that make us stronger?”

According to Politico, "Warner said he’s been told that 'almost half of all the FBI agents' had some involvement in the cases."

"He expressed concern about implications the major shake-ups could have on the country’s cybersecurity, the fentanyl crisis and crime investigations with the loss of long-standing officials within both agencies," the report states.

“This would be devastating,” Warner said, according to Politico.
