President Trump signed the short-term extension of a key surveillance tool into law on Saturday, after Congress passed a measure that punts the issue until the end of the month amid GOP infighting. The spy authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was set to expire on Monday.

The Justice Department is set to dispatch Joe diGenova — a Trump loyalist attorney who assisted President Donald Trump's failed legal effort to overturn his 2020 election loss — to help lead a controversial investigation in Florida targeting the president's perceived political foes, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
