Congress votes to briefly extend FISA surveillance law amid GOP divisions

Congress agreed Friday to briefly extend an expiring warrantless surveillance program, after a restive group of House Republicans refused to go along with efforts to reauthorize the controversial law.

The 10-day extension, which the Senate approved hours after an overnight session in the House, will allow Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) more time to seek a compromise in the lower chamber with skeptical members of his party.
