Anthropic was illegally blacklisted by the Trump administration, court rules
Friday, August 28, 2026
A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic violated constitutional protections. Anthropic filed the lawsuit in March in California district court, alleging the Trump administration unlawfully retaliated against the company. The ruling concluded the action was unconstitutional. The case centered on Anthropic's challenge to the blacklisting decision imposed earlier in 2026.
