"Republican Infighting: Mike Johnson's Defeat and GOP Dysfunction Over Government Spying Bill"

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson faced a defeat as his party revolted against a vote on reforms to the US's domestic surveillance system (FISA), with the House Freedom Caucus leading a rebellion over concerns that the proposed reforms would not require FBI agents to obtain a warrant to access Americans' communications. President Trump's support for tighter reforms is thought to have contributed to the vote's failure. The FBI has warned against the requirement of a warrant, stating that it would hinder their ability to address fast-moving threats.
