House passes 3-year extension of key spy power - Politico

The House approved a three-year reauthorization of Section 702, the FISA authority that underpins a large share of U.S. foreign-intelligence collection. The vote followed an earlier late-night scramble that produced only a short-term extension and exposed sharp intraparty divisions over a clean renewal. Privacy advocates and intelligence officials have warned that a multi-year reauthorization without added safeguards could allow warrantless collection that sweeps up Americans’ communications.
