Trump's SAVE Act obsession ties Senate in knots
President Trump continues to push for the passage of the SAVE America Act despite Senate Republicans indicating it is unlikely to pass. His insistence has led to delays in renewing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and stalled the confirmation of Jay Clayton to the intelligence director role, with Bill Pulte instead set to temporarily lead the agency.
