Ron Wyden Is Pissing Off the NSA’s Biggest Backers. Tom Cotton Warns There Will Be “Consequences.”

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is clashing with NSA supporters like Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) over reauthorization of a controversial domestic spying program. Wyden seeks to declassify a court opinion criticizing the Trump administration's use of Section 702 of FISA, while Cotton warns of 'consequences' for Wyden's public disclosure of classified material. The program, set to expire, faces legislative gridlock between the House and Senate.
