华盛顿讯 —— 周四，众议院共和党人将推进一项预计徒劳无功的举措，将一项关键间谍监控权限延期至7月初。此前特朗普提名的国家情报总监人选引发议员们不满。
这项被称为《外国情报监控法》第702条的权限将于周五到期，而国会自4月原定截止日期以来已两次推迟该问题的解决。
众议院计划周四就另一项短期延期法案进行投票，将截止日期推迟至7月2日。众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党议员迈克·约翰逊加快了该法案的审议流程，这意味着该法案需要三分之二多数支持才能通过。该法案几乎肯定会失败。
“我当然希望每个人都能做正确的事，抛开政治分歧，支持这项短期延期法案。我们并没有提出任何过分要求，”约翰逊周三表示。
特朗普上周宣布任命住房监管官员比尔·普尔特尔担任代理国家情报总监，打破了两党就将第702条延期三年达成的妥协。担任该职位后，普尔特尔将监督美国所有情报机构。
民主党人士表示，他们不会支持在普尔特尔执掌国家情报总监办公室的情况下延期该法案。他们指出，普尔特尔缺乏国家安全背景，以及他在联邦住房金融局任职期间的争议经历——期间他指控特朗普的多名对手存在抵押贷款欺诈行为。这一任命也遭到了一些共和党人的反对。
甚至在普尔特尔任命之前，两党 across the political spectrum 的议员就已在众议院和参议院就长期延期法案的谈判陷入僵局，对美国人的无证监控是他们最主要的担忧。第702条允许政府在无需搜查令的情况下收集位于美国境外的非公民的通讯信息，但同时也可能顺带收集与目标外国人员有联系的美国人的数据。
周二，特朗普在当天早些时候与约翰逊在白宫就推进路径举行会谈后，坚定了任命普尔特尔的决定，似乎还提前了他的上任日期。
周三与约翰逊再次会面后，特朗普要求国会批准第702条的短期延期，以“为遴选和确认常设情报负责人提供时间”。
约翰逊称这是对民主党人的“诚意姿态”。
“我认为民主党人应该接受这一提议，至少让我们就外国情报监控法的短期延期进行投票，”他周二表示。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党议员约翰·图恩周二表示，遴选常设官员将“在获得通过《外国情报监控法》所需支持方面发挥重要作用”。
众议院情报委员会主席、阿肯色州共和党众议员里克·克劳福德周三表示，监控权限失效将是“未知领域”。
“一旦这项授权到期，倒计时就开始了，”他在 floor 辩论中表示。“每过一天，影响都会变得更糟。虽然702数据库仍可用于搜索，但其中的数据将越来越过时。”
克劳福德还指出，如果该法案失效，服务提供商可能会拒绝配合政府的数据请求。
马里兰州众议员杰米·拉斯金是众议院司法委员会最高民主党成员，他辩称，周五之后“政府的监控活动将照常进行”。
“所有已获授权和认证的项目都已在推进中，现行的外国情报监控法授权将继续有效，至少到2027年3月17日，”他说，这里指的是外国情报监控法院据称每年对该项目的重新认证。

House to take up last-minute extension of key FISA spy power, but uproar over Bill Pulte could doom vote
June 11, 2026 / 6:00 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — House Republicans on Thursday will move forward on what’s expected to be a futile effort to extend a key spy authority until early July, after President Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence rattled lawmakers.
The authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is set to expire Friday after Congress has twice punted on the issue since the original deadline in April.
The lower chamber is planning to vote on another short-term extension Thursday morning that would push back the deadline to July 2. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, fast-tracked the measure, meaning it will need two-thirds majority support for passage. It’s all but certain to fail.
“I certainly hope that everyone will do the right thing, put politics aside, for a short-term extension. We’re not asking for anything heroic here,” Johnson said Wednesday.
Mr. Trump upended a bipartisan compromise to renew Section 702 for three years when he announced his decision last week to appoint housing regulator Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence. In the role, Pulte will oversee all of the nation’s spy agencies.
Democrats said they would not support a renewal with Pulte installed at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. They cited his lack of a national security background and his controversial tenure at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, during which he accused several of Mr. Trump’s foes of mortgage fraud. The choice also received pushback from some Republicans.
Even before Pulte’s appointment, negotiations on a long-term renewal ran into issues in both the House and Senate from lawmakers across the political spectrum, with warrantless surveillance of Americans at the top of their list of concerns. Section 702 allows the government to collect the communications of noncitizens located outside the U.S. without a warrant, though it can also sweep up the data of Americans who are in contact with targeted foreigners.
Mr. Trump on Tuesday dug in on his decision to appoint Pulte, appearing to move up his start date, after meeting with Johnson at the White House earlier in the day about the path forward.
After meeting again with Johnson on Wednesday, Mr. Trump asked Congress to approve a short-term extension of Section 702 to “provide time for the selection and confirmation” of a permanent intelligence chief.
Johnson called it a “good-faith gesture” to Democrats.
“I think the Democrats need to take that and at least allow us a short-term extension on FISA,” he said Tuesday.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said Tuesday that the selection of a permanent appointment would “play an important role in unlocking the support that we need to get FISA done.”
Republican Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday a lapse in the spy power would be “uncharted territory.”
“Once this authorization expires, the clock starts ticking,” he said during floor debate. “The implications get worse every single day. While the 702 database would remain available to search, the data in that database will become increasingly out of date.”
Crawford also cited the potential for service providers to refuse to comply with the government’s requests for data if the statute lapses.
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, argued that “government surveillance activities will continue unchanged” after Friday.
“Everything that’s already been authorized and certified is already in motion, and current FISA authorizations will continue unaffected, at least through March 17, 2027,” he said, referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s reported annual recertification of the program.
