Rubio Urged to Brace for Possible Intelligence Gap as FISA Expiration Looms

Senate Republicans Tom Cotton and Chuck Grassley warn Marco Rubio to prepare for a potential gap in foreign intelligence collection as FISA Section 702 expires, with Democrats blocking renewal over acting DNI Bill Pulte’s appointment. A June 12 deadline looms, and lawmakers have only short-term extensions in place while debates continue about alternative lawful means of gathering critical information if warrantless surveillance ends; note that other surveillance tools, like Title 1 FISA, would still be available.
