GOP Rift Delays Clean FISA 702 Extension Ahead of Deadline
The House remains split over reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA: Johnson wants a clean 18-month extension to avoid amendments, but hard-liners threaten to block a rules vote unless amendments—like warrants for searches and restrictions on data brokers—are allowed; some lawmakers also float a shorter 12-month extension as a fallback, while the White House and Trump press for a timely, unamended bill before the April 20 expiration.
