Surveillance tools expiration bears down on Senate
Key provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act are set to expire as Senate Democrats and the White House remain at odds over President Donald Trump’s acting director of national intelligence. An extension requires 60 Senate votes, but Democrats may allow warrantless surveillance powers to lapse unless Bill Pulte is replaced. Sen. Mark Warner criticized Trump’s actions, while Rep. Mike McCaul warned against a FISA lapse before the World Cup.
