Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had warned lawmakers that if the House didn\u2019t act on the legislation \u2014 which includes changes meant to strengthen oversight of a program that\u2019s been implicated in abuses like improper spying on Black Lives Matter protesters \u2014 the Senate was likely to send over a \u201cclean\u201d extension.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4585718-fisa-702-spy-powers-rule-vote\/\">said after the vote<\/a> that Republicans would \u201cregroup and reformulate another plan\u201d on the extension of Section 702.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While privacy advocates have criticized Section 702, national security officials have said it\u2019s the \u201ccrown jewel\u201d of U.S. intelligence and touted its usefulness in cybersecurity investigations.<\/p>\n<p>In advance of the vote, former President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/112245329328818599\">posted a message<\/a> on Truth Social. \u201cKILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department has acknowledged that two of the four orders issued under the broader FISA law to conduct surveillance on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/national-security\/two-4-warrants-letting-fbi-spy-ex-trump-aide-carter-n1121406\">were invalid<\/a>, although Section 702 authorities weren\u2019t related to those problems.<\/p>\n<p>The procedural vote Wednesday to advance a rule for floor debate would have allowed for a vote on the key change sought by critics of Section 702: a warrant requirement for when U.S. officials query the 702 surveillance database for Americans and people on U.S. soil. <\/p>\n<p>Some lawmakers said the bill should already have included a warrant requirement, rather than putting that tweak up for a vote as an amendment. And some faulted Johnson for choosing a House Intelligence Committee-backed extension over a Judiciary-backed bill that included the warrant requirement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rep.

Teresa Leger Fernandez, D-N.M., contended that the rule prevented votes on \u201cmany important amendments\u201d to a Section 702 extension.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.1551094890511\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"12\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/renewal-of-controversial-surveillance-law-screeches-to-a-halt-in-the-house-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
