由于对唐纳德·特朗普总统提名的国家情报机构负责人人选日益不满,参议院未能在延长美国间谍权力法案的进程中迈出关键一步。
周五凌晨时分,几乎所有参议院民主党人和六名参议院共和党人联合阻止了一项程序性投票,以推进《外国情报监控法》(FISA)的重新授权。距离下周必须就间谍权力法案采取行动的截止日期越来越近,此次投票受阻无疑加剧了局势。
原本有望达成两党合作的投票,因特朗普提名比尔·普利特担任国家情报总监(DNI)一职而受阻。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(南达科他州共和党)辩称,国会不能“陷入情报盲区”,不重新授权《外国情报监控法》。他希望参议院民主党人在下周参议院复会后能改变立场。
对图恩而言,更棘手的是,鉴于部分共和党议员 outright 反对该法案,他需要民主党议员的支持才能通过FISA重新授权。
“显然,我们需要民主党人的帮助,我认为他们当前的立场极为不负责任,”图恩说,“但我们将拭目以待,看看情况是否会改变。”
普利特目前担任联邦住房金融局局长,特朗普于本周早些时候提名他接替上月离职的前国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德。

这一提名让共和党人摸不着头脑,也引发了民主党人的强烈愤慨。
参议院情报委员会最高民主党议员、弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·沃纳警告称,如果普利特执掌情报机构,民主党将不会支持FISA重新授权。
“我看不到如何能获得必要的民主党票数……达到60票门槛,”沃纳说。
议员们对此感到担忧,因为普利特没有任何情报领域工作经验,而国家情报总监的职责是监督美国18个情报机构。

“我了解他在住房领域的工作,”阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基说,“我不太清楚总统为何会选择他。”
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默指责特朗普提名普利特“似乎是一场仓促考虑的幕后交易,基于对特朗普的忠诚,而非国家安全”。
“此时宣布提名再糟糕不过了,距离FISA第702条授权到期仅一周多一点时间,”舒默说,“此次提名及其时机显然让FISA延长法案的通过变得更加困难。”
与此同时,参议院共和党领导层希望在6月12日截止日期前完成两党法案并提交众议院。

普利特的任命进一步加剧了围绕FISA的斗争,迄今为止国会已两次推迟该议题,尤其是在有争议的第702条上存在分歧。
这场间谍法斗争是国会少数几个能将民主党人和保守派聚集在一起,推动更强隐私保护的议题之一。第702条允许政府监视境外外国公民。
然而,该法律并未禁止其收集涉及美国公民的通信数据。

Senate push to reauthorize nation’s spy powers stumbles over controversial Trump decision
June 5, 2026 5:47am EDT / Fox News
Sen Mark Warner warns Democrats won’t provide 60 votes needed if Pulte, who lacks intelligence experience, is in charge

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on the ongoing FISA showdown as Congress moves to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on ‘Special Report.’

The Senate failed to move one step closer to extending the nation’s spy powers amid brewing consternation against President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the nation’s intelligence agencies.
Nearly every Senate Democrat and six Senate Republicans banded together to block a procedural hurdle to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the wee hours of Friday morning. The stumble comes as the deadline to make a move on the spy powers next week rapidly approaches.
What would have likely been a bipartisan vote was marred by Trump’s pick to oversee the nation’s intelligence agencies as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Bill Pulte.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., argued that Congress couldn’t “afford to go dark” by not reauthorizing FISA, and hoped that Senate Democrats could have a change of heart on the matter next week when the upper chamber returns.
Complicating matters for Thune is that, given Republicans who outright dislike the program, he will need Democrats to reauthorize FISA.
“We need some help from Democrats, obviously, and I think it’s a terrible irresponsible position that they’ve taken,” Thune said. “But we’ll find out if that changes.”
Pulte currently serves as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and was tapped by Trump earlier this week to fill in for ex-DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who exited the position last month.

The choice left Republicans scratching their heads, and elicited fury among Democrats.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned that Democrats wouldn’t support reauthorizing FISA if Pulte were in charge.
“I don’t see how you get the necessary Democrat votes… that would get them to 60,” Warner said.
Lawmakers are concerned because Pulte has no experience in the intelligence field, and in the role of DNI, would be charged with overseeing the country’s 18 intelligence agencies.

“I know what he’s been doing in the housing sector,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said. “I’m not so familiar with why the president would have selected him.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., charged that Trump’s move to pick Pulte “appears to have been a hastily considered backroom deal based on loyalty to Trump, not the security of our nation.”
“The timing of this announcement could not be worse, with just over a week until FISA 702 authorities expire,” Schumer said. “This announcement and its timing clearly make passing an extension of FISA much harder.”
Meanwhile, Senate Republican leadership hopes to have their bipartisan bill completed and shipped to the House before the June 12 deadline.

Pulte’s appointment further complicates a fight over FISA that has, so far, led to Congress punting twice on the issue,particularly over disagreements with the controversial Section 702.
The spy law fight is one of the few horseshoe issues in Congress that blends Democrats and conservatives in a push for stronger privacy protections. Section 702 allows the government to spy on foreign nationals abroad.
However, nothing in the law prevents it from collecting data on Americans if they happen to be involved in those communications.
