Fox News Host Confronts Mike Johnson on FISA Change

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, on Sunday on his change of heart when it came to a proposed amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

The House voted to re-authorize FISA in a 273-147 vote on Friday. There had been a push from Republicans, even Johnson initially, to amend Section 702 of FISA, which allows intelligence agencies to gather data on foreigners living abroad. While these agencies can't use Section 702 to target U.S. citizens, they can collect data on Americans if they communicate with a foreign surveillance target.
