House GOP leadership is setting up another clash with its right wing by pushing to renew a government surveillance program before it expires — without requiring warrants to spy on Americans.

GOP leaders dropped the latest iteration of legislation to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Thursday.
