Update: SAG-AFTRA said that CBS News has returned correspondent Catherine Herridge’s files, even though the network has disputed that they had seized her material after she was laid off.
In a statement, SAG-AFTRA said that they were “pleased to confirm that earlier today a representative of our union monitored the return of several boxes containing Catherine Herridge’s reporting materials from her CBS News office in Washington D.C. Herridge is currently reviewing the materials.
“We welcome CBS News’ reversal which came after SAG-AFTRA’s intervention and widespread media coverage that underscored shared concerns about press freedom and the First Amendment.”
The network, however, had challenged the notion that they were retaining the materials.
“Catherine’s personal belongings were delivered to her home one week ago, and we are prepared to pack up the rest of her files immediately on her behalf – with her representative present as she requested,...

A recent survey conducted by YouGov America has revealed that the majority of Americans, which includes a notable percentage of Republicans, support the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
The poll shows that 54% of Americans approve of the court’s ruling, with even 24% of Republicans in their agreement.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s opinion, released on Tuesday evening, cited the 14th Amendment’s clause that prohibits insurrectionists from holding office as the basis for Trump’s ineligibility.
The court concluded that the evidence presented demonstrated that Trump had engaged in insurrection when he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
While the decision has garnered praise from those opposed to Trump, it has also faced criticism, and some view it as an attack on democracy and a political maneuver. Still, the initial polling indicates that a...

As a government shutdown that could affect millions of Americans looms over Congress, House Republicans are busy launching their impeachment inquiry circus against President Joe Biden.
On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee held its first hearing of their official impeachment inquiry investigation of as-yet-unproven allegations of “abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption,” by President Biden.
The GOP invited three witnesses to testify before the committee: Justice Department official Eileen O’Connor, law professor Jonathan Turley, and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky.
If Republicans were looking for a bombshell first hearing, they didn’t get it.

Despite all his bravado to the contrary, former President Donald Trump is indeed worried about going to prison, according to a new report from Rolling Stone. Among those worries is, apparently, that he’ll end up in a “bad” prison — which caused MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” crew to literally laugh out loud on Thursday morning.
According to the report, Trump has wondered aloud if he’d “be sent to a ‘club fed’ style prison — a place that’s relatively comfortable, as far these things go — or a ‘bad’ prison,” as well as whether or not he’d be made to wear a prison jumpsuit, among other concerns.
“There are no good prisons. Mr. President,” host Willie Geist mocked, earning loud laughter from Joe Scarborough and the rest of the team. “There are no good ones.”
But, Joe Scarborough wasn’t at all surprised to hear Trump is actually worried about jail time.

San Francisco, June 23 (Ians) A US judge has sanctioned the lawyer who submitted a legal brief written by the AI chatbot ChatGPT, which included citations of non-existent court opinions and fake quotes.
Lawyer Steven A Schwartz, who sued Colombian airline Avianca after believing that citations given by ChatGPT are real while they were, in fact, bogus, has been fined $5,000 by US District Judge in Manhattan, P. Kevin Castel, reports CNBC.
Along with Schwartz, the court also sanctioned and fined lawyer Peter LoDuca in the same incident.
Castel said that the attorneys, LoDuca and Schwartz, “abandoned their responsibilities” when they submitted the AI-written brief in their client’s lawsuit against the Avianca airline in March, and “then continued to stand by the fake opinions after judicial orders called their existence into question”, the report stated.
He also ordered them to notify each judge falsely identified as the author of the bogus case rulings about the sanction.

A week after his second post-presidential arrest, this one for his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House, Donald Trump turned to Fox News host Bret Baier on Monday to make the case for why he should lead the country again. But he ended up essentially confessing to the crime of which he’s accused: stealing and sharing top-secret government information.
Before that, however, Baier pressed Trump to explain why he kept the boxes of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago and refused to comply with government requests to return them,...

In the days since Donald Trump was indicted, his allies have had a unified demand of his GOP primary rivals: Promise to pardon the Donald — or else.
It’s not an accident: In the days leading up to his arraignment, the former president worked the phones to vent about the case to his allies and discuss the way forward.

San Francisco, June 11 (Ians) Microsoft-backed OpenAI has been sued by a radio host in the US, which appears to be the first defamation lawsuit responding to false information generated by ChatGPT.
Mark Walters sued the Sam Altman-run company after ChatGPT mentioned that Walters had been accused of defrauding and embezzling funds from a non-profit organisation, reports The Verge.
ChatGPT generated the false information in response to a request from a journalist named Fred Riehl.
ChatGPT responded: “Mark Walters is an individual who resides in Georgia. Walters has served as the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Saf since at least 2012. Walters has access to Saf’s bank accounts and financial records and is responsible for maintaining those records and providing financial reports to Saf’s board of directors.”
The AI chatbot further stated that Walters owes Saf a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care.

While these generative Al models are designed to facilitate communication and provide helpful responses, experts have raised concerns that these pose great risks of hacking and data breaches that could compromise personal information.
A report by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 showed recently that ChatGPT-related scams are surging and despite OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT) giving users a free version of ChatGPT, scammers lead victims to fraudulent websites, claiming they need to pay for these services.
"They might collect and steal the input you provide. In other words, providing anything sensitive or confidential could put you in danger. The chatbot’s responses could also be manipulated to give you incorrect answers or misleading information," said researchers from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42.
The report observed an increase of 910 per cent in monthly registrations for domains related to ChatGPT between November 2022-April 2023.

He added that there is “no defending what President Trump did” on Jan. 6, 2021. “If you were a defense lawyer, if you were someone with a different perspective than the anti-Trump perspective that’s carried by the committee, I don’t think there’s any defending what President Trump did,” he said. “The most you could do would be to try to put it in some kind of a mitigating context.”

There was plenty of partisan sniping of double standards and whataboutism at today’s House subcommittee hearing on disinformation. As Democrats fume over the role of right-wing media disinformation in the Capitol siege, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-la) reminded of the 2017 attack on a Republican softball practice, in which he was severely wounded by a man who was reportedly a big consumer of left-wing media. A key takeaway, though, was on the ever-more blurred lines between news and opinion on cable news networks, in which consumers turn to their preferred echo chambers and grow ever more distrustful of media figures outside of it. The point was brought up several times during the day by lawmakers of both parties. And while it is certainly not a new phenomenon, the Capitol siege, driven by a combination of rage and disinformation, has put this type of information diet in a new light. Rep. Adam Kinzinger...

Updated with schedules for Week 2 hearings: The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will continue public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump for a second week beginning Tuesday. Last week’s three witnesses marked the first such hearings to take place since President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 and only the fourth time against a sitting president in U.S. history.
The House of Representatives is probing charges that Trump attempted to coerce Ukraine, a foreign government, to launch an investigation of political rival Joe Biden and his son. The hearings could wrap before the end of the year.
Like last week, cable networks are planning full-court coverage for scheduled hearings this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see the breakdown below). Most broadcast networks plan to break in to regularly scheduled programming, while offering uninterrupted coverage via their digital outlets.
Deadline will also live-stream all the hearings this week.

Robert Mueller remains a frustrating character in our national drama. In the historic testimony he gave before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, the former special counsel played the doddering professor to a class of grandstanding law students ready to impale or embrace him on the sharp teeth of their arguments.
He gave them little to work with.
Mueller wouldn’t use the word “impeachment.” He refused to read from his own report. He answered most questions with a terse, sometimes inaudible: “That’s accurate.” Or: “Correct.” Or: “I’m not going to address that.” He wouldn’t validate or invalidate theories about obstruction of justice or Russian conspiracies.
Mostly he would say, “If it’s in the report, I support it.”

President Trump wished everyone a “Happy Memorial Day” in his first tweet of the day Monday, but quickly sequed into a self-congratulatory tweet about the economy. “Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics Ever (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!”
Just minutes after his Twitter tribute to fallen soldiers, Trump renewed his attacks against the Justice Department while live-tweeting Fox News and its interview with law professor Jonathan Turley.
“The President deserves some answers.” @FoxNews in discussing “Spygate” Trump wrote.
He continued, quoting Turley:
“Sally Yates is part of concerns people have raised about bias in the Justice Dept. I find her actions to be really quite unbelievable.” Jonathan Turley”
And another:
“We now find out that the Obama Administration...

“Morning Joe” regulars were roundly unimpressed by Stormy Daniels’ big interview on “60 Minutes,” blasting just about everyone involved for overhyping the contents — including Daniels, whose credibility was called into question. “The fact is Stormy Daniels is not credible,” law professor and “Morning Joe” mainstay Jonathan Turley said. “She’s signed false statements.

“The Browns wanted to show people that a plural family is not a monstrosity,” said Jonathan Turley of The George Washington University. “They don’t commit collateral problems.
