Congress Warns Section 215 May Not Be Renewed

Members of the House Judiciary Committee questioned Justice and NSA officials about their surveillance of U.S. citizens. They said that when section 215 expires in two years, it won t be renewed. The hearing was the latest in a string of what have turned into interrogations of top Justice, law enforcement and intelligence community officials in the wake of the leaks of classified documents revealing the methods that the NSA and FBI use to gather phone metadata and email and Web records. The leaks have spurred a conversation in Washington about the use of section 215, as well as section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
