We're exclusively reporting that the Trump administration told lawmakers it won't share classified intelligence related to a whistleblower complaint against spy chief Tulsi Gabbard.

In an email to Democratic congressional staffers sent earlier this month, Gabbard's office informed lawmakers that it can't provide the unredacted documents, quote, due to the assertion of executive privilege on portions of the intelligence.

A meeting today between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei ended in an ultimatum.

Anthropic has until Friday to comply with the Pentagon's demands on using its artificial intelligence models, or the company's contract will be canceled.

That's according to people familiar with the matter.

The people said that if Anthropic doesn't show more flexibility working with the military, Hegseth said that he could label the company a supply chain risk.

a move typically reserved for overseas companies linked to foreign adversaries.

Or he said he could invoke the Defense Production Act to essentially force the company to work more collaboratively with the Pentagon.

Experts have said that either move would be nearly unprecedented.

The meeting comes after a recent feud between the Pentagon and Anthropic.

Hexeth wants the military to be able to use Anthropic's Claude and other AI tools in all lawful use cases, including domestic surveillance and autonomous lethal activities, a move the company has resisted.
