GOP Senate Makes Big Move For Trump Over Dem Objections

Johnson said House Republicans would bring up a short-term extension to FISA that would keep the program online until July 2, consistent with requests from the White House.

“FISA … is how we surveil terrorists who are trying to hurt Americans,” the House speaker said. “It’s a very important, vital national security tool. We cannot allow that to go dark.”

Johnson said the House would vote on the short-term extension Thursday morning.

It’s likely the chamber’s last chance for such a move — both the House and Senate are out of session next week for the Juneteenth holiday.

But House Democrats have already expressed their opposition to the plan.
