President Donald Trump will install Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence on June 19 following the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard.The appointment has triggered intense bipartisan opposition in Congress due to Pulte's perceived lack of experience in national security.This political standoff now threatens to block the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires.Legislators from both parties warn that a lapse in these surveillance powers could significantly weaken essential intelligence capabilities.
