Some Republicans want Pulte out for intelligence job
Republicans and Democrats are at an impasse over Bill Pulte's nomination as acting director of national intelligence, with Democrats threatening to block a FISA extension unless he is withdrawn. Senate leaders acknowledge the need to resolve the stalemate but remain divided on Pulte's future. The dispute centers on Section 702 of FISA, which provides critical intelligence for the president's daily brief.
