Trump endorses short-term FISA extension until next DNI is confirmed
President Donald Trump called on lawmakers Wednesday to approve a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to allow the president time to nominate and confirm a new director of national intelligence. Senators on both sides of the aisle have threatened to withhold votes on a clean FISA extension until Trump nominates a new DNI to replace acting Director Bill Pulte. The president’s selection of Pulte, a staunch Trump loyalist who critics note has no intelligence community experience, ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill last week.
