House passes surveillance bill after rare bipartisan deal
(CNN)The House on Wednesday voted to reauthorize three national security surveillance authorities following a rare bipartisan agreement struck ahead of a Sunday deadline when the provisions are set to expire.
The legislation includes new privacy protections to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, as well as changes to the FISA court system to address misconduct over the surveillance warrants for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page,
which came under fire from Republicans and President Donald Trump. The
House approved the measure with a broad, bipartisan majority, 278-136.
The
legislation now heads to the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell is hoping for quick passage of the House bill — something that
will ultimately be up to opponents of the measure.
