1:27Now PlayingHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Thursday defended Democrats' decision to vote against reauthorizing a key surveillance power, saying the fault lay with President Trump because of his decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
"Donald Trump should lose sleep and Republicans should lose sleep because in the middle of sensitive negotiations to reauthorize surveillance authority, which they knew were challenging, Donald Trump decides to toss a hand grenade into the middle of those negotiations to blow them up because Donald Trump decided he wants to elevate Bill Pulte, who is nothing more than malignant political hack who is in no way, shape or form qualified to lead our national security efforts," he said.
The vote was 198–218, well short of the two-thirds majority needed to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows warrantless surveillance of foreign targets abroad.
