Leading Democratic Sen. Mark Warner on Wednesday sharply criticized Google's absence from the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on social media's role in protecting elections from misinformation and disinformation.

Warner, who is the ranking Democrat on the committee, which has been conducting a probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, said there was clear frustration from both parties about the tech company's vacant seat at the hearing.
