FISA Act Renewal in Doubt After Trump Tweet
Atweet from President Donald Trump Thursday morning sowed confusion about the White House’s position on a key intelligence program and imperiled the already shaky efforts to renew the federal government’s ability to monitor the communications of terrorists and other threats.
The tweet came just 10 hours after the White House issued a statement indicating its support of the renewal efforts and made clear its opposition to an amendment with growing support that would block renewal, raising the prospect that the president simply didn’t understand what the position of his White House had been.
