- Warner called her dismissal politically motivated and part of a smear campaign.

- NSA concealed her 2022 hiring from Congress to avoid political accusations.
Media Coverage and Misinformation
- After Doss's firing, media and Democrats spread misinformation, echoing a similar pattern from the Russia investigation.
- Warner suggested Doss's firing was influenced by Laura Loomer, labeled a “far-right conspiracy theorist. ”

Timelines and Developments
