MANASSAS, VA—Long a proponent of unmanned aircraft, Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner will tour the Aurora Flight Sciences headquarters 10:15 a.m. Friday, May 10, at 9950 Wakeman Drive.

Afterward, he will "discuss his bipartisan legislation to advance the development of these aircraft systems" during a town hall with employees at the facility, which manufactures unmanned systems and aerospace vehicles. Following the informal discussion, Warner will also take questions from the audience.

The former Virginia governor (2002–2006) is vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which on Wednesday, May 8, issued a subpoena to Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, seeking further testimony regarding the ongoing probe of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
