"House Passes FISA Renewal Despite Trump's Opposition and GOP Infighting"
The House passed the renewal of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act, reauthorizing Section 702 to monitor foreign citizens abroad believed to be a threat to national security, despite former President Donald Trump's plea to block the bill. The vote came after Trump incorrectly suggested the act was used to spy on his campaign, and some conservatives and progressives opposed the bill, arguing for the requirement of warrants for queries that may involve U.S. citizens. The legislation was revised to a two-year renewal to address conservative concerns and includes new measures aimed at preventing FISA abuse.
