NOW PLAYING
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Republican leaders will brief reporters Wednesday morning, as lawmakers look to revive the nation’s warrantless spying powers.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) expired on June 12 after Democrats objected to President Trump’s appointment of Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte to serve as the acting director of national intelligence. Now, with the postponement of another nomination for the role to succeed Tulsi Gabbard, fate of the legislation remains murky.
Ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and a slew of appropriations bills are also top of mind for the lower chamber. Trump will be on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to sign the recently passed housing affordability bill.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
