Trump won't back FISA renewal without his SAVE America Act voting bill
President Trump is demanding that Congress attach his voting bill, the SAVE America Act, to legislation renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702, which allows surveillance of foreigners and incidental collection of Americans' communications, lapsed after a failed House vote. Trump also faces criticism over his selection of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, with lawmakers expressing concerns about potential misuse of FISA powers.
