House rejects last-ditch FISA extension ahead of Friday deadline
The House rejected a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, risking its expiration Friday. The vote was 198-218, with Democrats opposing the extension unless President Trump reverses his decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, which they argue lacks legitimacy.
