Donald Trump has reversed his stance on FISA Section 702, urging House Republicans to pass an extension of the surveillance power he previously sought to terminate. Trump now calls the authority "vital" for military success, despite his past claims that FISA was weaponized against his 2016 campaign.

Outlets across the spectrum highlight Trump’s pivot from his "Kill FISA" rhetoric to advocating for a "clean" reauthorization of surveillance powers. The Libertarian Institute characterizes the move as a "flip flop" that risks civil liberties, while Fox News and Tampa Free Press frame his intervention as a necessary effort to unify House Republicans and protect military operations.
