House Extends FISA Spy Powers Briefly
Republican leadership suffered an embarrassing setback when a bloc of 20 privacy hawks joined Democrats to defeat a proposed five-year renewal.
The revolt forced a post-midnight vote to extend the program only until April 30, buying time for further negotiations.
President Trump and his allies had aggressively lobbied for a clean 18-month renewal, but conservatives demanded more stringent warrant requirements and criminal penalties for violations.
The standoff highlights deep divisions within the GOP over civil liberties and national security priorities.
