He said the \u201cradical left\u201d is politicizing national security, after senators threatened to block a clean FISA extension unless Trump names a replacement for acting DNI Bill Pulte.<\/p>\n<p>Trump characterized Pulte, a longtime Trump loyalist, as someone who has drawn criticism for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >lacking intelligence community experience<\/a>, and said he wants a permanent ODNI nominee with national security experience. He also emphasized that FISA 702 is significant to U.S. military and public safety and added that the law is set to expire this week. Trump told Congress he needs a temporary extension to complete the selection and confirmation process, and he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-live-indian-prime-minister-visits-the-white-house-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"WATCH LIVE: Indian prime minister visits the White House - Washington Examiner\">previously met multiple times<\/a> this week with House Speaker Mike Johnson to find a legislative path to break the deadlock.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4601619\/trump-plan-tear-down-odni\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> called on lawmakers Wednesday to approve a short-term extension of Section 702 of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fisa\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"921\">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act<\/a> to allow the president time to nominate and confirm a new director of national intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senators on both sides of the aisle have threatened to withhold votes on a clean FISA extension until Trump nominates a new DNI to replace acting Director Bill Pulte.
