Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire this weekend unless Congress acts.

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.

A key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act could lapse this week if Congress doesn’t extend it.

Democrats are refusing to back an extension of Section 702.

Democrats withheld their support for the measure over Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
