Trump Sides With Deep State, Signals Intent To Preserve Spy Tool That Snarled His First Term

  • President Donald Trump expressed support for a clean extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and stated he is willing to risk giving up his rights to preserve this tool for national security purposes.
  • Trump indicated he might leverage the renewal of Section 702 to advance the Republican-backed SAVE America Act, a voter identification bill including provisions on voter ID and restrictions on mail-in ballots.
  • The Senate passed a short-term extension of Section 702 to allow more time for negotiations, which remain stalled due to demands for reforms such as warrants and limits on data brokers selling information to the government.
  • There is bipartisan concern over Section 702's potential to violate privacy rights through incidental surveillance of Americans, prompting calls for reform; however, Trump and some Republicans oppose amendments and favor a clean reauthorization.
