Trump officials are pressing Congress to renew a high-profile warrantless surveillance law during the lame-duck session, The New York Times reported. The article is credited to Charlie Savage and Dustin Volz.

According to the Times summary, the request would extend a law described as high-profile and warrantless, and it would "add a thorny issue" at a time of waning Republican control of Congress. The summary does not say which Republican officials or lawmakers are involved.

The summary does not describe the law's specific provisions, the length of the proposed extension, or how members of Congress have responded to the request. The headline and summary are the only material available for this report, so those details are not included.

The headline identifies the officials as Trump officials and uses the term lame-duck session, but neither the headline nor the summary defines that period further. The article's web address places it in the paper's U.S. politics section.

Because the summary does not explain the scope of Republican control, this report does not characterize it beyond the summary's own phrasing. Each statement above is attributed to The New York Times, and no other outlet is cited for this story.

The Times article is the only source cited, and the headline and summary are the two sources of information about it that this report uses. Each claim here comes from one of those two items, and no detail was added from outside them.
