House approves bill to extend divisive US surveillance program
The Republican-controlled House approved a three-year reauthorization of a divisive U.S. surveillance program ahead of its expiration on Friday, adding new oversight measures but stopping short of the warrant requirement that critics have demanded. The three-year extension still faces an uncertain path to passage, with a sign-off needed from the Senate and President Donald Trump. “Two-thirds of the president’s daily national security briefing comes from intelligence collected by that statute,” Speaker Mike Johnson said about the program.
