GOP Senate Makes Big Move For Trump Over Dem Objections

Trump’s choice of Pulte as head of U.S. intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard, caused the mess in the upper chamber.

Senate Democrats have called Pulte a political hack who shouldn’t be responsible for surveilling the government so much.

Johnson told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon that House Republicans didn’t have “a great deal of confidence” that the Senate would agree on extending FISA.

“They’re unable to pass it, and it’s a great regret, because Democrats in the Senate are playing political games right now with the lives of Americans,” said the top House lawmaker. “It’s a very dangerous situation.”
