Senate fails to extend key surveillance program as deadline nears
A procedural vote failed in the Senate early Friday, and a provision of the spy powers law is set to expire June 12.
Washington — The Senate on Friday blocked an extension of a key warrantless surveillance program used by U.S. intelligence agencies, meaning Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire on June 12 without further intervention.
Seven Republicans joined Democrats in the 47-52 vote against a procedural motion that would have set up a final vote on the extension next week. The vote comes amid concerns over President Trump's controversial pick of federal housing finance regulator Bill Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence.
