House Speaker Mike Johnson has introduced a fresh proposal to renew controversial surveillance authorities after facing two unsuccessful attempts in recent votes.
The Louisiana Republican revealed his latest strategy to extend the FISA 702 surveillance program as lawmakers work against an April 30 deadline.
The program has generated significant debate among members of Congress, with previous efforts to reauthorize the intelligence-gathering tool falling short of the votes needed for passage.
Johnson’s new approach represents another attempt to find common ground on the contentious surveillance legislation before the current authorization expires at month’s end.
