Trump Urges Congress to Extend FISA 702 Law Temporarily
President Trump called on Congress to pass a short-term extension of FISA Section 702, warning the law will expire this week and citing its importance for military and public safety during World Cup and America250 celebrations.
In a statement, former President Donald Trump emphasized the critical role of FISA Section 702 in national security, particularly ahead of upcoming World Cup and America250 events. He urged lawmakers to approve a temporary extension to allow time for selecting and confirming a permanent agency head. Trump also thanked Director Pulte for his service.
The appeal comes as the surveillance authority faces expiration within the week. The request focuses on operational continuity rather than permanent reauthorization.
