Republican House Mutiny Sinks Trump's Warrantless Surveillance Extension

A post-midnight revolt in the House defeated the White House's push to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with Republicans bucking Trump to reject both five-year and 18-month extensions of the warrantless surveillance program. The Senate passed a narrow 10-day extension by voice vote to prevent the spy authorities from lapsing while negotiations continue over permanent reforms. The rebellion reflects lingering GOP grievances over FBI abuses of Section 702 against members of Congress, political donors and protesters, exposing genuine limits to Trump's leverage on national-security legislation even with Iran war rhetoric in the backdrop.
