===Ex-staffer funds FusionGPS===
In January 2017 Warner assumed the position of ranking Democrat of the Senate Intelligence Committee, succeeding [[Dianne Feinstein]]. As such, Warner holds a position on the [[Gang of Eight]] tasked with Congressional oversight of [[Executive Branch]] covert activities, including the [[Obama administration]]'s [[surveillance]] of the [[Trump transition]] team and [[FISA abuse]] which extended well into [[President Trump]]'s first year in office. A former staffer of Sen. Feinstein, [[Dan Jones]], also left the committee at the same time as Feinstein, raised $50 million from Democratic donors, and hired [[FusionGPS]] to continue its opposition research on [[Donald Trump]], begun by [[Hillary Clinton]] and the [[DNC]], and used by the Obama administration to hoax the [[FISA]] court.
