A key surveillance tool that allows the United States to collect intelligence abroad appears certain to expire.

A key federal spy tool, FISA 702, is at risk of sunsetting unless Congress can pass an extension of the authority before Friday.

Forty-five days after Congress punted a fight to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Republican leaders are staring down a new deadline.

Senators have threatened to withhold votes on a clean FISA extension until Trump nominates a new DNI to replace acting Director Bill Pulte.
