The Senate passed a bill today to extend FBI Director Robert Mueller’s 10-year term for two years. The bill now goes to the House for a vote.

The extension, requested by President Barack Obama to give continuity to his national security team, had been held up by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who questioned U.S immigration policy after two Iraqi refugees were arrested in Kentucky and charged with terrorism-related offenses.

Paul met with Mueller today over the issue.
