Spy powers skeptics in Congress discussing new language after White House meeting

Congressional skeptics of warrantless surveillance authority are drafting revised legislative language with the Trump White House following a meeting with top administration officials. The effort signals potential movement on reauthorization of spy powers that have drawn bipartisan concern over privacy and oversight protections. The lawmakers involved are attempting to find middle ground between preserving national security tools and constraining government surveillance capabilities. Without agreement on new language, the warrantless surveillance authority faces potential expiration or a clean reauthorization that critics want to avoid. The negotiations reflect tension between security-focused officials and civil liberties advocates within Trump's own party.
