Democrats demand preservation of Trump's Grok chatbot logs
Ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have demanded that President Trump preserve logs from his use of the Grok chatbot. The request follows reports that the president consulted the AI regarding the removal of Venezuela's leader.
Representatives Raskin and Garcia, ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees, sent a letter to President Donald Trump demanding the preservation of chatbot logs from his use of Grok. The demand follows a Time magazine profile stating that Trump sought advice from the AI regarding the forceful removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The letter asserts that all chatbot logs are property of the United States and must be preserved. Raskin and Garcia described the consultation as deeply troubling, arguing it introduced a manipulatable and error-prone technology into foreign policy decision-making. They cited potential blunders, including a war on Iran, as reasons for transparency. A White House spokesperson stated that the administration preserves all required records in accordance with the law. The move is seen as politically motivated ahead of midterms where the GOP faces challenges in the House.
