WASHINGTON — After weeks of bitter infighting, the House passed a renewal of the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 spy power for the duration of President Trump’s term. But the measure is unlikely to clear the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has signaled plans to move forward with a 45-day extension due to members’ qualms with the House bill. 3 GOP leadership had tried multiple times earlier this month to get the FISA Section 702 renewal done.
