WATCH: Dems unite on anti-terror spying authority amid standoff over Trump's DNI pick

Democrat senators agreed to renew the government's anti-terror spying authority under Section 702 of FISA amid a standoff over President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. FISA 702 expired in June 2024 but was extended through March 2027 by a court, while critics argue Pulte lacks intelligence experience. Trump has conditioned FISA renewal on passing the SAVE Act, which imposes voter ID requirements.
