WATCH: Dems unite on anti-terror spying authority amid standoff over Trump's DNI pick
Democratic senators agreed to renew Congress's anti-terror spying powers under Section 702 of FISA amid concerns about national security, despite the provision's expiration in June 2024. The renewal is tied to ongoing disputes over President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, with critics citing his lack of intelligence experience. Trump has also conditioned FISA 702 renewal on passing the SAVE Act, which imposes voter ID requirements.
