Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Judiciary Committee plan to propose new restrictions on law enforcement’s access to information collected by the National Security Agency, likely setting off a fight with the Trump administration.
The measure, to be introduced Friday, would revise a surveillance law set to expire at the end of the year. The White House has sought to renew it without new limits.
