House Speaker Mike Johnson Delays Vote on Extending Trump-Era Domestic Spying Powers

House Speaker Mike Johnson postponed the vote to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, due to GOP disagreements and Democrat divisions over privacy concerns. This delay highlights the tension between national security interests and civil liberties as the law's expiration approaches next month. The coming weeks will determine whether bipartisan reforms to enhance privacy oversight can be agreed upon before the law lapses.
