TL;DR Summary
President Trump summoned about a dozen GOP holdouts to the White House to press for a clean 18-month extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, aiming to secure enough votes for a floor debate even if final passage isn’t assured; CIA Director John Ratcliffe and other officials are part of the push, framing the renewal as essential for national security with updated privacy safeguards, while some conservatives express privacy concerns and want changes.
