Republicans are reportedly discussing a year-long renewal of the nation's warrantless spy powers in exchange for strengthening current aspects of the law. This deal would scale back the 18-month timeline requested by President Trump for renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act (FISA). It would allow a larger group of lawmakers to see the activity being reviewed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, expanding access beyond the Intelligence Committee.
