President Donald Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence has cleared a key hurdle in the Senate, reviving efforts to restart the nation's top anti-terror surveillance program. This move puts Congress back on track to revive the crucial counterterrorism tool.
Senate Republicans have advanced President Donald Trump's pick to lead the nation's intelligence agencies, clearing a key hurdle and reviving the path for restarting the country's top anti-terror surveillance program, which had been halted by Congress in 2021. The development marks a significant shift in support for the program, known as Section 702, which has been instrumental in gathering intelligence on terrorist organizations. Trump's pick is now one step closer to taking over the reins of the US intelligence community and restoring the program. This move puts the US back on track to revive the critical counterterrorism tool.
