WASHINGTON, D.C — On Friday, July 14, an Arizona judge rejected attorney general candidate and election denier Abe Hamadeh’s (R) motion for a new trial in his previously dismissed election contest. In December 2022, the same judge tossed out Hamadeh’s election contest, which was also backed by two Arizona voters and the Republican National Committee (RNC), after holding a trial on the Republicans’ claims of erroneously counted ballots and election board misconduct, wrongful exclusion of provisional ballots, inaccurate ballot duplications and improper electronic ballot adjudication.

Yukon’s Supreme Court says lawyers in the territory have to inform the court when they use artificial intelligence to produce court documents or conduct legal research. The court issued those instructions last month, citing “legitimate concerns about the reliability and accuracy of information generated from the use of artificial intelligence” and specifically referring to Chatbot, or ChatGPT. Manitoba’s Court of King’s Bench released similar directions last month after two New York lawyers were sanctioned by a US court when they used ChatGPT to produce a legal briefing. The document contained fake quotes and referred to as non-existent case law. Thomas Slade, an Ottawa lawyer with Supreme Advocacy, said he was surprised Canadian courts were taking a ‘pre-emptive’ approach to potential AI threats.…

James Comer, R-Ky., said a key informant for the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family had disappeared.

It’s no secret that Ripple Labs Inc., the company behind the prominent cryptocurrency XRP, is caught up in two legal maelstroms that could define its future. The first case involves the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which accuses Ripple of an unlawful sale of XRP tokens, perceived as unregistered securities. The second is a class-action lawsuit (originally filed in 2018) by an aggrieved investor, Bradley Sostack, arguing that XRP is a security and should have been registered under relevant laws.

The slow start to Ukraine’s counteroffensive is by no means an indication it’s failing, the top US military officer said Tuesday, pointing out Kyiv’s forces have a “significant amount of combat power” they haven’t used yet, and their Russian opponents are not in great shape. A month and a half into its counterattack, Ukraine can claim cracking several villages but no major victories. Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it’s too early to make any judgments while Ukraine is still trying to clear mines laid by Russian troops over several months. “Right now they are preserving their combat power,” Milley told reporters.…
