On June 9, 2026, President Donald Trump met with House Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House. The meeting comes as pressure increases on Trump to nominate a permanent director of national intelligence. Some Republicans believe that this nomination is necessary to reauthorize section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which is set to expire at midnight on Thursday. This section allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications from foreign targets without a court warrant, but it also raises concerns about the potential collection of communications involving American citizens.
