Two powerful lawmakers warned that three sweeping national security surveillance authorities could expire next week with Congress at an impasse about how to reform them
Both proponents and opponents of extending the authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, warned Thursday that the three authorities were at risk of lapsing with a March 15 deadline looming. The possibility that the authorities could expire is due to the deep divisions inside both parties over what to do about the law.
But President Donald Trump and his closest GOP allies say that doesn't go far enough, and are demanding more sweeping changes.Republicans are up in arms about the way the FISA process was misused against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, which was documented in a recent inspector general report.
