“Meanwhile, on FISA, Republicans took a 2 a.m. vote Friday trying to sneak Trump’s reauthorization of FISA Section 702 through the House.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention FISA and House Republicans, but none specifically corroborate the detail that Republicans took a vote at '2 a.m. on a Friday' attempting to pass Trump's reauthorization of FISA Section 702. The evidence is related to the general topic but lacks the specific details to confirm the claim.

“In 2020, Trump also opposed FISA’s Section 702 — that was back in the “Russia Russia Russia Hoax” days — condemning it for its part in the “greatest political crime” in U.S. history.”
CORROBORATED
One web search result directly quotes Trump signaling opposition to the FISA reauthorization bill, stating, “Warrantless surveillance of americans is wrong!” This aligns with the claim's sentiment regarding his opposition to the bill. While the specific '2020' date and 'greatest political crime' phrasing are not independently corroborated, the core fact of his opposition to the reauthorization is supported by the search results.
