The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
4:05pm- On Thursday, former CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge testified before the House Committee Hearing on the Press Act. During her opening statement, Herridge said: “CBS seized hundreds of my reporting files including confidential source information” which she believes “crossed a red line.” She continued, “if confidential sources are not protected, I fear investigative journalism is dead."
4:30pm- Luke Broadwater and Charlie Savage of The New York Times write: “Right-wing House Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation to extend an expiring warrantless surveillance law that national security officials call crucial to gathering intelligence and fighting terrorism, dealing Speaker Mike Johnson a stinging defeat after former President Donald J. Trump urged lawmakers to kill the bill. In an upset on the House floor, the measure, which would extend a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as Section 702, failed what is normally a routine procedural test. On a vote of 228 to 193, 19 House Republicans, most aligned with the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, joined Democrats in opposing its consideration.” You can read the full article: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/us/politics/fisa-trump-johnson-house.html
4:50pm- Dustin Volz and Lindsay Wise of The Wall Street Journal note that “absent congressional action, [Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] will expire in April. But [Speaker of the House Mike] Johnson might have an out, as some experts say the law could potentially continue for another year because of how and when the secretive court that oversees the program grants annual approval for the categories of intelligence collection it allows. Those annual certifications were recently granted by the FISA Court, according to Biden administration officials.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/kill-fisa-trump-creates-new-headache-for-speaker-johnson-over-spy-powers-vote-96ead8a8?mod=hp_lead_pos3
