WASHINGTON _ The House on Thursday approved a measure reauthorizing the National Security Agency's broad surveillance authority despite last-minute confusion after President Trump's contradictory tweets for and against the program.
The measure extends the government's authority to collect communications from foreigners, without warrants, including those communicating with U.S. citizens, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act's Section 702.
A competing measure to enhance greater protections for Americans' privacy by requiring warrants was rejected earlier.
