"Controversial Surveillance Program Sparks Debate in Congress"

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray urged lawmakers to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, citing a recent case where it helped authorities alert 300 potential victims of an Iran-linked cyberattack. Section 702 allows warrantless collection of electronic communications for foreign intelligence investigations, but privacy advocates argue for a warrant requirement to search the data. The House Intelligence Committee is considering legislation to reauthorize Section 702 without the warrant requirement, while the House Judiciary panel approved a bill that does require warrants.
