Congress passes 10-day extension of Section 702 surveillance authority after House rejects longer-term renewals
The House and Senate passed a 10-day extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after House Republicans blocked both a five-year compromise bill and an 18-month clean extension that Trump had supported. About 20 GOP conservatives joined most Democrats in rejecting the longer extensions, forcing leadership to settle for the short-term measure to prevent the surveillance authority from expiring on April 20.
