Retired Judges Back Anthropic Lawsuit Against Department of War
8.1
Nearly 150 retired federal and state judges filed a brief Tuesday supporting Anthropic's lawsuit challenging the Department of War's February 27 designation of the company as a "supply-chain risk." The judges said the department misinterpreted the statute and unlawfully punished Anthropic despite no contractual coercion. The filing follows President Donald Trump's and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's public calls for agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology.
