The House passed a short-term extension of a key government spy tool through unanimous consent early Friday morning after several GOP members voted to sink a late-night deal that would have allowed it to continue until 2031.

The 10-day extension kicks the can down the road for GOP leadership to come to an agreement with conservative holdouts until April 30. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) moved to pass the short-term extension to reauthorize section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after GOP hardliners sunk both the five-year extension and the procedural rule vote for a “clean” 18-month extension.
