Washington — The House early Friday approved a short-term renewal of a controversial surveillance program until April 30 after Republicans revolted and blocked a plan to extend the authority for a longer period. Lawmakers met in a post-midnight session after a late Thursday failed procedural vote left leaders scrambling to prevent the program from expiring Monday. This week leaders had unveiled a five-year proposal and debated an 18-month renewal supported by President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, but roughly 20 GOP defections helped doom the longer extension; the stopgap passed by voice vote shortly after 2 a.m. and now moves to the Senate, which convened a rare Friday session to consider the measure.
