Democrats Say They Have Votes to Force Lutnick to Testify on Epstein
A senior General Services Administration official, Ed Forst, issued a warning about Grok’s security concerns that reached the White House, with Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles eventually calling a senior xAI executive. A GSA report found that the chatbot was too easily influenced by biased data or outside interference, and a 2024 National Security Agency review found that Grok posed a greater security risk than Claude, raising eyebrows at the Pentagon.
