Capitol agenda: Five days to save FISA
The Senate faces a critical deadline to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires Friday. Democrats oppose extending the spy power unless President Donald Trump revokes Bill Pulte's appointment as director of national intelligence, complicating last-minute negotiations. Senate Republicans, including Chuck Grassley and Tom Cotton, warn of a potential lapse in surveillance capabilities amid partisan gridlock.
