Bessent: FISA Critical for Treasury to Counter Terrorist Financing

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is a critical tool allowing the Treasury Department to prevent terrorists from exploiting the financial system to attack the United States. He emphasized that FISA remains a key component of national and economic security.

According to Bessent, FISA is the most important tool available for collecting information on adversaries, specifically naming Iran and Hamas. He called on Congressional Democrats to stop politicizing the safety and security of the American people.
