Law due to expire at midnight tonight following unhappiness over Trump’s pick for intelligence chief
Section 702 of Fisa due to expire tonight – and remain so for at least a week during recess – amid backlash to Trump’s pick Bill Pulte for acting DNI.
While Trump has moved to contain the furor – announcing his nomination of another top official, Jay Carney, to take the role on a permanent basis, yesterday – Congress has so far failed to extend the key power in time for tonight’s deadline.
