Trump Derails Counterterrorism Tool Revival: FBI Foils D.C. Terror Plot Amidst FISA Chaos

President Trump has thrown a wrench into efforts to revive a vital counterterrorism tool, Section 702 of FISA. This comes just days after the FBI thwarted a domestic terror plot in Washington D.C.

The program, crucial for stopping terror abroad and heavily used by the FBI, was on the verge of reauthorization. It was instrumental in foiling a plot to use drones and snipers at President Trump’s UFC birthday celebration.
