A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers is urging President Trump to nominate a permanent director of national intelligence to secure renewal of FISA Section 702, set to expire June 12. Trump resists, backing temporary pick Bill Pulte despite his lack of intelligence experience.
Democrats withhold votes over Pulte's appointment, risking a lapse in foreign intelligence collection during World Cup games and America250 celebrations. The impasse could limit U.S.
intelligence capabilities abroad.
