Republican leaders push to remove FBI from controversial surveillance investigations.

TL;DR Summary
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan criticized the FBI for recent abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and suggested that the agency should be removed from the Section 702 surveillance "business" altogether. Section 702 allows U.S. federal intelligence agencies to conduct targeted searches of foreigners, but sometimes Americans are improperly searched in the process. The provision is set to expire by the end of the year, and Congress wants to make reforms. Out of 3.4 million Section 702 queries conducted last year, 30 percent of them were in error.
