据现任和前任官员向美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)透露,距离一项重要监控法案到期仅剩数日,美国国家安全官员正紧急应对在美伊微妙停火期间情报收集可能出现的盲区。
据熟悉相关讨论的美国官员和私营部门官员透露,一些负责该监控项目数据管理的通信运营商已私下警告特朗普政府,如果法案未能续签,他们将在4月20日法案到期当日停止收集数据。这些企业担心,在法案过期后继续收集数据可能会面临法律责任问题。
“我们将有一段时间陷入情报盲区,而在战争背景下这极其令人担忧,”一位前高级国家安全官员表示。
目前,白宫顾问斯蒂芬·米勒和中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫正领导特朗普政府进行最后一刻的游说,试图说服持怀疑态度的共和党议员支持无附加条款的18个月法案延期。尽管众议院计划本周就该法案进行投票,但尚不清楚共和党领导层能否争取到足够票数。
据前官员透露,中央情报局官员还联系了民主党政府时期的前国家安全官员,寻求他们的背书,以此争取犹豫不决的民主党议员的支持。
中情局还宣传该法案助力挫败了2024年泰勒·斯威夫特演唱会的恐怖袭击图谋,并为墨西哥军方今年开展的击毙贩毒集团头目“埃尔·门乔”的突袭行动提供了情报支持。
该法案即《外国情报监控法》(FISA)第702条,允许美国经授权官员收集外国目标的通话和短信数据,但在此过程中也可能顺带收集到美国公民的数据。
多年来,高级国家安全官员一直表示,第702条对于挫败恐怖袭击、遏制芬太尼流入美国以及阻止针对关键基础设施的勒索软件攻击至关重要。而左右两派的公民自由团体则认为,该监控权限存在侵犯美国公民隐私的风险。
上月,外国情报监控法庭在一份预计为机密的裁决中批准第702条再延长一年,《纽约时报》率先报道了这一消息。但据熟悉相关讨论的消息人士透露,如果该法案本身到期失效,运营商将在没有政府明确法律保障的情况下拒绝参与该项目。
但特朗普政府与第702条有着复杂的过往历史。特朗普及其支持者此前曾将该法案与其他用于调查俄罗斯干预美国大选的法律手段混为一谈,以及2016年特朗普竞选团队相关人员与俄罗斯干预行动有关联的指控。
正如CNN此前报道的那样,今年早些时候一场关于第702条的机密听证会引发两党不满,因为联邦调查局和其他国家安全官员拒绝透露特朗普政府是否希望国会续签该法案。
支持第702条的共和党议员希望唐纳德·特朗普总统能敦促议员支持该法案,而希望改革该法案的民主党议员则以特朗普为例,辩称该监控权限需要更多监督制约。
据一位熟悉此次会议的消息人士向CNN透露,米勒和拉特克利夫上月在白宫举行了一场关于第702条重要性的机密简报会,极右翼的众议院自由核心小组成员出席了会议。
围绕该项目续签的辩论暴露了共和党内部的深刻分歧,他们对政府的监控权限持有不同观点。
众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹和众议院情报委员会主席里克·克劳福德已与共和党各派系进行会谈,试图阐明该法案续签的必要性,并强调如果国会未能续签该项目,国家安全将面临风险。
“他们一直在四处奔走游说,”一位熟悉谈判进程的共和党消息人士告诉CNN。
与该法案持不同意见的共和党议员反对的原因各不相同。
例如,佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢纳表示,她不会支持FISA法案续签,除非附加特朗普的联邦选举改革法案《拯救美国法案》,尽管该法案在参议院通过的可能性极低。亚利桑那州共和党众议员安迪·比格斯则坚持要求在法案中加入相关改革条款,例如在查询美国公民通信内容前需要获得搜查令。
上月的联邦法院裁决可能会进一步激化围绕第702条的辩论。据CNN获得的一份由美国政府准备的关于该裁决的非机密 talking points 备忘录显示,法官认为特朗普政府为支持该监控项目提出的某些“技术能力”使用方案“可能存在缺陷”。
该备忘录未详细说明这些缺陷,但第702条的支持者已借此大做文章。
参议院情报委员会的隐私保护倡导者、俄勒冈州民主党参议员罗恩·怀登周五呼吁公开该法庭裁决的内容。
马里兰州民主党众议员杰米·拉斯金是众议院司法委员会的资深民主党议员,他此前曾支持第702条法案续签,但最近致信同僚,解释了他此次为何反对无附加条款的续签。
在CNN获得的3月份一封致民主党同僚的信中,拉斯金辩称:“2024年出台的保障措施已被特朗普政府严重削弱。”
然而,支持18个月延期的人士表示,让该项目在4月20日后失效,并依赖情报法庭的授权,不仅会引发安全担忧,还会让议员们失去采取行动的紧迫感。
“4月20日后该项目陷入停摆将是一个大问题,”一位熟悉谈判进程的共和党消息人士告诉CNN。
US intel officials scramble to keep surveillance law running amid Iran war tensions

With just days until a powerful surveillance law lapses, US national security officials are scrambling to prepare for potential blind spots in intelligence collection amid the US’ delicate ceasefire with Iran, current and former officials told CNN.
Some communications carriers that manage data for the surveillance program have privately warned the Trump administration they will cease collecting data on April 20, when the law is set to expire, if it is not renewed, according to US officials and private-sector officials familiar with the discussions. The companies fear they will face liability issues if they collect the data when the law is expired.
“We are going to go blind for a while and that’s incredibly concerning amid a war,” one former senior national security official said.
Now, White House adviser Stephen Miller and CIA Director John Ratcliffe are leading the Trump administration’s eleventh-hour push to convince skeptical Republican lawmakers to support a clean reauthorization of the law for 18 months. Even though the House is scheduled to vote on the bill this week, it is unclear whether GOP leadership can deliver the votes.
And CIA officials have also reached out to former national security officials in Democratic administrations to seek their endorsement, as a way to appeal to hesitant Democrats, according to the former officials.
The CIA is also touting the law for helping thwart a terrorist attack on a Taylor Swift concert in 2024 and providing intelligence used in a raid by the Mexican military this year that killed drug kingpin “El Mencho.”
The law, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), allows authorized US officials to gather phone calls and text messages of foreign targets, but can also scoop up the data of Americans in the process.
Senior national security officials have for years said Section 702 is critical to thwarting terror attacks, stemming the flow of fentanyl into the US and stopping ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure. Civil liberties groups on the left and the right, meanwhile, argue the surveillance authority risks infringing on Americans’ privacy.
Last month, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court renewed approval for Section 702 for another year in an expected classified ruling that was first reported by The New York Times. But if the statute itself lapses, carriers are balking at participating without explicit legal assurances from the government, according to the sources familiar with the discussions.
But the Trump administration has a complicated history with Section 702. The president and his supporters have previously conflated the law with other legal methods used to investigate Russian interference in US elections and allegations that people associated with the Trump campaign in 2016 were connected to those Russian efforts.
A classified hearing on Section 702 earlier this year erupted in bipartisan frustration because the FBI and other national security officials refused to say whether the Trump administration wanted Congress to renew the law, as CNN previously reported.
Pro-702 Republicans are hoping President Donald Trump will push lawmakers to support the bill, while Democrats hoping to reform the law are using Trump as an argument that the surveillance authority needs more checks.
Miller and Ratcliffe last month held a classified briefing at the White House on the importance of Section 702 with members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus in attendance, a source familiar with the meeting told CNN.
The debate over the program’s reauthorization has exposed deep divisions among Republicans who have competing views on the government’s surveillance authority.
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and House Intelligence Chair Rick Crawford have been meeting with all factions of Republicans trying to make the case for the bill’s reauthorization and to emphasize what is at stake for national security if the program doesn’t get renewed by Congress.
“They have been pounding the pavement,” a GOP source familiar with the negotiations told CNN.
Republican lawmakers at odds with the legislation are opposed for different reasons.
GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, for example, has said she will not support the FISA reauthorization without attaching Trump’s federal elections overhaul bill, the SAVE America Act, even though it faces steep odds in the Senate. And Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs has insisted that the bill include reforms like warrants before querying Americans’ communications.
The federal court ruling last month could further inflame debate around Section 702. The judge found that the Trump administration’s proposal for using certain “technical capabilities” in support of the surveillance program “could present deficiencies,” according to an unclassified talking points memo about the ruling prepared by the administration, which CNN obtained.
The memo did not elaborate on those deficiencies, but proponents of Section 702 have seized on it.
Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, a privacy hawk who sits on the intelligence committee, on Friday called on the court ruling to be declassified.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, who previously supported Section 702 reauthorization, recently wrote to his colleagues on why he is opposed to a clean reauthorization this time.
“The safeguards put in place in 2024 have been badly eroded by the Trump Administration,” Raskin argued in a March letter to fellow Democratic lawmakers obtained by CNN.
Supporters of the 18-month reauthorization, however, say letting the program lapse beyond April 20 and relying on the intelligence court’s reauthorization not only creates security concerns, it creates the risk that lawmakers will no longer feel the pressure to act.
“The program going dark post-April 20 is a huge problem,” the GOP source familiar with the negotiations told CNN.
