Outlets across the spectrum highlight Trump's unsuccessful push for a "clean" 18-month FISA extension, with Axios describing the outcome as a "rare defeat" for the president among House Republicans. Left-leaning RawStory emphasizes Trump's "major U-turn" on a surveillance tool he previously criticized, while right-leaning Daily Caller focuses on his reported policy rift with Tulsi Gabbard over "Deep State" spy tools.
