Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's Office Reportedly Published Claude Transcript Residue on Accident in House Amendment Summary

June 24, 2026

A staffer in Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's office reportedly used Claude to prepare a summary for an amendment to the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act and accidentally pasted chatbot transcript residue, including a timestamp and "Claude responded:" marker, into the public House Rules Committee record. The summary was reportedly later corrected. Luna confirmed that her staff used Claude for the summary, not to draft the amendment itself.
