House to clear major roadblock on data privacy amid showdown over federal surveillance powers
Fox News
House GOP leaders are separating a measure on data privacy from a larger bill aimed at renewing a federal government surveillance tool in order to give the latter a higher chance of passing.
Discussions over renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which expires on April 19, abruptly blew up in February when Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee walked away from a compromise bill they spent months putting together with the House Judiciary Committee.

Multiple sources close to the Intelligence panel told Fox News Digital at the time that the legislative text had been changed to potentially allow for the inclusion of an amendment led by Davidson that would have required the federal government to obtain a warrant before purchasing U.S. citizens’ data from big tech firms. Those sources argued that it was unrelated to Section 702’s intelligence gathering practices and could have sunk the bill. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
