Trump is encountering headwinds on getting congressional authority for the FISA warrantless wiretapping program that expires Friday

Congressional authority for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows for warrantless wiretapping, is set to expire soon, presenting challenges for President Trump as he seeks to extend these powers amidst growing opposition.

The urgency surrounding the reauthorization of FISA reflects broader concerns about surveillance practices and civil liberties, particularly as the program also collects data on American citizens.

This situation underscores the increasing tensions within Congress, where Trump's controversial policies and appointments, including the acting Director of National Intelligence, have sparked significant debate and resistance, complicating his legislative agenda.
