House Declines to Renew Broad U.S. Surveillance Authority Amid Leadership Dispute

The House declined to renew a broad surveillance authority for U.S. intelligence agencies as a dispute intensified over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily place housing official Bill Pulte in charge of U.S. spy agencies. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the House’s refusal to extend the authority and linking it to the growing struggle over the temporary leadership arrangement. The development underscores heightened tensions in Congress over oversight of intelligence powers and the administration’s handling of senior roles within the intelligence community.
