Congress faces a March 15 deadline to renew the statutory authority for several key provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). This decision point comes at a time of heightened scrutiny, given the recent Department of Justice Inspector General report addressing the FBI's use of FISA while investigating the 2016 presidential election and a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review order expressing "serious concerns about the accuracy and completeness" of the FBI's FISA applications in that case. The panel will discuss the mechanics of FISA, the recent controversy, and issues for Congress to consider as it determines whether and how to renew these key FISA provisions.Featuring: -- Gregory T.
