Representative Lauren Boebert is opposing a clean extension of FISA Section 702 powers, breaking with former President Donald Trump who has called for House Republicans to unify and pass the legislation for national security reasons.
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.
