GOP Senate Makes Big Move For Trump Over Dem Objections

The goal of the move is to keep Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s spy powers from ending on Friday.

However, congressional Democrats have already said they won’t support such an extension unless the White House withdraws Bill Pulte’s nomination as acting director of national intelligence.

The Senate has not been able to agree on anything for days because of the FISA program. This program lets intelligence agencies spy on foreigners living in the United States without a warrant.

Lawmakers against the spy powers have also spoken out because they think they could be used to spy on American citizens.
