And then section 215 expired this year, but it looks like it was more the House of Reps, than Trump. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/yes-section-215-expired-now-what https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/yes-section-215-expire... There's just been so much going on this year that stuff gets buried. I'm not willing to give Trump too much credit on this front, since he also normalized use of the military against peaceful domestic protestors for the purpose of cheap PR stunts. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-protests-apology/after-rebuke-top-u-s-general-says-joining-trump-church-walk-during-protests-was-mistake-idUSKBN23I264 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-protests-apol...
