House Democrats announced they will not vote on a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provisions and enact more reforms to protect civil liberties after President Donald Trump issued a veto threat.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) officially removed the vote on the bill on Thursday after Republicans signaled they would no longer back the measure.
