Incident 14992 Report
Claude Console Reportedly Generated Phantom Legal Quotations in Trump Layoffs Court Filing

2026-05-06

A Binnall Law Group attorney reportedly used Anthropic's Claude Console to draft a motion to quash a subpoena in litigation over Trump administration layoffs, then filed a version containing "phantom" quotations that did not appear in the cited cases. The attorney apologized to U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, and the firm said it would add safeguards and training after calling the AI-generated errors unacceptable.
