President Trump on Tuesday night warned that Republicans should vote against the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the controversial measure that sets up a separate legal avenue for the U.S. government to get permission to spy on individuals who might be agents of a foreign power in the United States.
Trump, in his Tuesday tweet, said that Republicans should vote "NO" on the reauthorization, citing apparent abuse of the act in the surveillance of some of the members of his 2016 campaign during investigations into whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the nation's efforts to boost Trump's candidacy.
FISA reform has been a hot topic since a report from the Justice Department inspector general revealed significant inaccuracies and omissions by the FBI in FISA warrant applications that led to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizing surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016. A showed that the FBI's violations of FISA-related rules went beyond the Russia investigation.
The Flynn case is currently in limbo, as a district court judge has invited outside parties to weigh in on whether he should accept the Department of Justice's motion to drop its prosecution against Flynn, who previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI but later sought to withdraw that plea. Flynn's lawyers are currently appealing that decision and seeking to have an appeals court approve the DOJ's motion to drop the case entirely.
