Senate leaders are preparing for a fight over FISA as the body's civil libertarians aim to place even stricter limitations on surveillance powers
Senate leaders are preparing for what could be a protracted brawl over government surveillance powers during a rare public debate Wednesday over how to reauthorize key national security tools that lapsed two months ago.
Some of those senators are also fighting for influence over President Donald Trump, who has not formally endorsed the House bill even though Attorney General William Barr helped negotiate it. “Whether or not he'll actually get involved when he has various parts of his administration for it and then various allies like myself against the weak reform, that's the real question on this,” Paul added. “I don't know the answer as to how he'll come down.”
