Johnson Drops Vote on Controversial Surveillance Bill, Citing Need for More Talks
• Speaker Johnson abandons plans to bring warrantless surveillance bill to House floor this week • Bill would reauthorize Section 702 of FISA, which allows government to spy on non-citizens abroad • House Intelligence and Judiciary committees divided over including warrant requirement • Further time needed to reach consensus on reforming and reauthorizing Section 702 • New bill resembles Intelligence Committee's old bill, lacks Judiciary's desired warrant requirement
