About this episode
The episode discusses recent breaches and investigations involving high-profile government officials and the use of AI in legal proceedings.
Hackers linked to Iran have breached FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal emails. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a Jack Smith progress memo to Congress outlining Trump's motive for illegally retaining classified documents. A top deputy to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro acknowledged in a closed-door hearing this month that the Justice Department did not have evidence of wrongdoing in its criminal investigation of Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Legal experts are stunned after a federal judge catches DOJ lawyers using artificial intelligence to write briefs.
