Senate Democrats and seven Republicans voted 47-52 to block FISA Section 702 extension ahead of its June 12 expiration, demanding warrant reforms.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act lapses Friday.

President Trump asked Congress for a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), an effort to give time to nominate and confirm a permanent director of national intelligence amid threats from Democrats to not renew the act if Bill Pulte remains acting director of the agency.

Unless Congress acts, a key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire at the end of this week.

A procedural vote failed in the Senate early Friday, and a provision of the spy powers law is set to expire June 12.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said if Trump wants a shot at a short-term extension, he needs to pull the Pulte appointment. Pulte is a “disgraceful individual” and a “partisan political hack" who is deeply unqualified for the job, Jeffries said.

Republicans in Congress face two major tasks this week: wrapping up reconciliation 2.0 and renewing a controversial spy powers authority before it expires Friday. The House returns with a final sprint to clear roughly $70 billion for immigration enforcement through President Donald Trump’s term,

At a time of heightened security risks, renewal of a prominent intelligence tool is caught in a standoff between Congress and President Donald Trump.
