Senate leaders are pushing colleagues to renew the expiring warrantless surveillance law to prevent gaps in counterterrorism intelligence before the Friday midnight deadline.
Even with the pending Section 702 law expiration, a national security court granted permission for the surveillance program to continue for another year, but gaps in collecting messages could still occur.
The controversial law allows the government to intercept messages of foreigners abroad from U.S. companies, although it also results in the incidental collection of Americans' messages related to foreign targets.
