Johnson: Democrats ‘playing politics’ with FISA over Pulte appointment

Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Democrats for politicizing the FISA reauthorization process by questioning President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte to the acting director of national intelligence role. Johnson argued that this move could jeopardize the renewal of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act, which is set to expire soon. The debate highlights the partisan divide over intelligence oversight and the implications for national security if the act fails to be renewed. This situation underscores the broader tension between the parties over Trump's appointments and the administration's approach to intelligence.
