国会共和党人正加紧推进一项备受争议的间谍项目延期工作，该项目将于周五午夜到期。
众议院议员以235票对191票的两党投票结果，将《外国情报监控法》第702条的有效期延长至唐纳德·特朗普总统任期结束。
此次投票在共和党内部出现分歧，超过20名共和党隐私鹰派议员投票反对这项对无授权监听项目延长三年的法案。
此次投票成功通过后，参议院在迫在眉睫的4月30日截止日期前几乎没有时间采取行动。

约翰逊议长在保守派倒戈后朝着重启有争议的间谍项目又近一步
一批众议院保守派议员投票反对《外国情报监控法》延期法案，理由是该法案未纳入更严格的隐私保护措施，例如要求情报机构在获取美国人数据前获得搜查令。
这部被视为美国政府最强大的监控工具之一的间谍法律，允许美国政府收集境外外国人使用美国平台时的情报，即使这些通信涉及美国人。
“我们都应该捍卫第四修正案，”众议院共和党议员、知名隐私鹰派人士奇普·罗伊在周二就《外国情报监控法》延期法案进行辩论时表示。
众议院领导层试图通过在《外国情报监控法》延期法案中加入永久禁止美联储发行中央银行数字货币（CBDC）的条款，来争取一些保守派顽固议员的支持。
但参议院多数党领袖约翰·瑟恩（南达科他州共和党）警告称，这项给隐私鹰派的“甜头”将被参议院视为“毒药丸”条款，而民主党人强烈反对禁止中央银行数字货币的提案。
“他们清楚这一点，”瑟恩周二在接受记者采访时在谈到众议院共和党人时说道。

约翰逊表示乐观，认为参议院将不经修改就审议众议院通过的法案。
“我一直都在和瑟恩领袖沟通。他们正在密切关注此事，希望他们能尽快处理我们送交的法案，”约翰逊周三对福克斯新闻表示。
“无论如何，共和党这边没人想拿让这些关键国家安全工具失去资金或过期当儿戏，”他补充道。“所以，我认为他们会迅速采取行动。”
特朗普政府数周来一直在向众议院共和党人施压，要求他们支持延长该间谍项目，称监控权限对国家安全至关重要，绝不能过期。
“国防部强烈支持重新授权《外国情报监控法》第702条，”战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯周三对议员们表示。“毫不夸张地说，我们执行的许多最重要的任务，如果没有通过《外国情报监控法》第702条收集到的情报，根本无法完成。”

众议院民主党人大多强烈反对不经修改就延长该间谍法律，集体投票反对该法案。
“我对此持怀疑态度。就目前的提案方式而言，尤其是在本届政府执政期间，”印第安纳州民主党议员安德烈·卡森对福克斯新闻表示，他指的是《外国情报监控法》延期法案。“2024年我投票支持该法案时，心里更踏实。但在本届政府执政下，我没那么安心了。”
仅有42名民主党议员跨党派投票支持该法案，其中包括众议院情报委员会最高民主党议员、康涅狄格州民主党议员吉姆·希姆斯。
“我见过无数次通过第702条获取的情报实实在在拯救了生命，”这位康涅狄格州民主党议员表示。“所以，在重新授权和过期这一二选一的选项中，负责任的选择是重新授权。”
House passes FISA renewal in bipartisan vote, putting pressure on Senate before looming deadline
April 29, 2026 5:27pm EDT / Fox News
Senate Majority Leader John Thune warns a controversial provision added to win over conservatives could make it ‘dead on arrival’
By Adam Pack , Chad Pergram
Congressional Republicans are racing to extend a controversial spying program before it is scheduled to lapse Friday at midnight.
House lawmakers voted 235 to 191 in a bipartisan manner to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for the rest of President Donald Trump’s term.
The vote split Republicans, with more than 20 GOP privacy hawks voting against a three-year extension of the warrantless surveillance program.
The successful vote leaves the Senate little time to act before the fast-approaching April 30 deadline.

SPEAKER JOHNSON ONE STEP CLOSER TO RENEWING CONTROVERSIAL SPY PROGRAM AFTER CONSERVATIVES FALL IN LINE
A swath of House conservatives voted against the FISA renewal bill, citing concerns that the measure does not include more stringent privacy safeguards, such as a requirement for intelligence agencies to obtain a warrant before accessing Americans’ data.
The spy law, considered one of the government’s most powerful surveillance tools, allows the U.S. government to gather intelligence on foreigners abroad who are using U.S. platforms, even when those communications involve Americans.
“We should all be standing up for the Fourth Amendment,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a leading GOP privacy hawk, said during debate on the FISA renewal bill Tuesday.
House leadership attempted to win over some conservative holdouts by adding language permanently banning the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDC) to the FISA renewal bill.
But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has warned that the sweetener for privacy hawks will be interpreted as a poison pill in the Senate, where Democrats fiercely oppose a CBDC ban.
“They know that,” Thune told reporters Tuesday, referring to House Republicans.

DEMS PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS TO KEEP OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES FIGHT ALIVE AFTER VOTE TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT
Johnson has voiced optimism that the upper chamber will take up the House bill without modifications.
“I speak with Leader Thune all the time. They’re watching this very closely, and hopefully they can process what we send them,” Johnson told Fox News Wednesday.
“No one, on the Republican side anyway, wants to play around with letting these critical national security tools go unfunded or expire,” he added. “So, I think they’ll move it expeditiously.”
The Trump administration has pressured House Republicans for weeks to back an extension of the spy law, arguing the surveillance authority is too vital for national security to expire.
“This department strongly supports the reauthorization of FISA 702,” Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth told lawmakers Wednesday. “It is not hyperbole to say many of the most important missions we have executed could not have happened without the intelligence gathered through FISA 702.”

House Democrats, many of whom have fierce objections to a clean extension of the spy law, voted en masse against the measure.
“I’m suspicious. The way it’s proposed right now, particularly under this administration,” Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told Fox News, referring to the FISA renewal bill. “I was more comfortable when I voted for it in 2024. Under this administration, I’m not as comfortable.”
Just 42 Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, crossed party lines in support of the measure.
“I’ve seen countless, countless instances where the intelligence obtained through section 702 quite literally saved lives,” the Connecticut Democrat said. “So, given the binary choice between reauthorization and expiration, the responsible choice is reauthorization.”
