The Daily Beast, The New Republic and TIME report that Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, have written to President Donald Trump asking him to preserve his conversations with AI chatbots, including Elon Musk’s Grok, and the responses they generated. The letter asks whether Trump has used the chatbots to help carry out his official duties and requests a briefing by 5 p.m. on November 11. The outlets say a TIME report earlier this month, citing an insider, said Trump consulted Grok before a military operation in Venezuela. Raskin and Garcia would chair the two committees if Democrats win the House in next week’s midterm elections.
