Clayton Confirmed to Reboot Key Surveillance Power | Charleston News
Description
Jay Clayton’s confirmation as head of the nation’s intelligence agencies could finally revive a critical surveillance power that’s been offline for over six weeks, potentially ending a political stalemate sparked by his predecessor’s controversial lack of experience. With a 51-47 Senate vote, Clayton may be the key to reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA — a move Democrats walked away from during Pulte’s temporary tenure. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is already hopeful Clayton’s leadership will break the logjam and get the reauthorization moving again.
