House GOP opponents of a clean reauthorization of a key spy power are charging ahead with a push to amend the 18-month extension — despite Speaker Mike Johnson saying he will not allow changes to be made to the legislation.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) is seeking consideration of an amendment to the bill reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, that would prevent data brokers from selling information to the federal government, according to text of the provision obtained exclusively by POLITICO.

“Passing a clean Section 702 reauthorization without any reforms to protect the Fourth Amendment right to privacy would be a major disservice to the American people,” Davidson said. “We live in a digital age, and cell phones are now extensions of our homes; they store our personal conversations, location data, banking information, and health records. Our personal devices deserve the same constitutional protections as our homes.”

Warren also said his amendment would fix a loophole that currently allows intelligence agencies to get information from third-party brokers that collect data from phone apps and web activity without obtaining a warrant.

“My amendment closes that loophole, and I am proud that it carries bipartisan support from members who want to protect their constituents’ right to privacy,” Davidson added. “I look forward to a full House vote.”

The House Rules Committee will meet Tuesday afternoon to tee up floor consideration of the Section 702 extension. GOP leaders want to pass the bill Wednesday ahead of the April 20 expiration deadline, but several hard-liners are threatening to tank a procedural party-line rule necessary to consider the underlying measure unless amendments are permitted.

Leaders are resisting allowing amendments because the White House has requested a clean extension.

Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he would be “looking into” an ongoing House Ethics investigation into whether Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) is guilty of assault and benefiting from federal contracts while in office.

His comments to reporters come amid a broader reckoning in the House over alleged transgressions among members on both sides of the aisle, leading to announcements Monday that Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) would resign after being accused of sexual misconduct.

While Johnson said he was not sure about the current status of the Mills investigation, he was confident the House’s “consensus” would be to soon vote to oust another Florida lawmaker, Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, following findings by the House Ethics Committee that she committed myriad campaign finance infractions.

The Ethics panel is due to meet next week to determine whether to recommend a formal punishment, which could be as severe as expulsion. If members ultimately suggest a lesser consequence, Republicans could still force a floor vote on an expulsion resolution, though Democrats could counter with a resolution to expel Mills at the same time. It’s not clear how Republican leadership will proceed.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries separately told reporters Tuesday that the Cherfilus-McCormick ethics probe “is not yet complete” and they will “see what” the panel recommends.

Jeffries also said conversations regarding Swalwell “will stay private.”

Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he is not willing to add any amendments to a straight extension of a key spy powers law, as he tries to overcome a GOP hard-liner rebellion fueled by privacy concerns.

“It’s going to be a clean extension,” Johnson told reporters. “If we put amendments on it, it jeopardizes its passage. And it’s far too important.”

Johnson is preparing to push an 18-month extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through the House Rules Committee this afternoon. He doesn’t yet have the votes to then advance the measure on the floor later this week, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the talks.

Republicans, including members of leadership, have discussed a backup plan that would be a shorter extension. But they’re likely only willing to take that step if the current proposal fails on the floor.

Some House GOP holdouts privately say White House officials and GOP leaders are trying to strong-arm them into accepting a clean FISA extension, despite their concerns about American citizens being swept up in government surveillance.
