'It gives a lot of people hope we will get another bite of the apple when Trump's president.'
Share on linkedin , the key surveillance bill, overcame a procedural hurdle on Friday after heated GOP infighting earlier this week.Leadership agreed to have the bill expire in two years instead of five, arguing that the new timeline would provide them another opportunity to tackle the bill if former President Trump takes back the White House.
"It gives a lot of people hope we will get another bite of the apple when Trump's president," one lawmaker said.The change to the bill came after a fiery conference meeting on Wednesday afternoon, with security and privacy hawks sharply divided on the warrant language which remains out of the current bill.
Conservatives and Trump blasted the measure arguing it does not go far enough to protect American's privacy rights and argued that FISA was used to illegally spy on the Trump campaign. But national security hawks argued the warrant language would hinder the country's ability to assess threats in real time, noting the measure included an array of reforms to prevent misuse for political purposes.Share on linkedin
