House votes to renew FISA spying tool after earlier Republican revolt

After a brief rebellion by conservative privacy advocates, the House ultimately voted to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Friday.

The vote, which passed 273-147, saw bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats backing the legislation.

Earlier, a group of 19 conservative lawmakers had blocked the bill in protest, but a compromise was reached with Speaker Mike Johnson.

Under the deal, the reauthorization period was reduced to two years instead of five, giving former President Trump a chance to address FISA if he returns to office, NBC News reported.
