Over the past year, Lawfare contributors have analyzed and explained pressing national security issues affecting world affairs. Over this next week, we will highlight a few issue sets that Lawfare contributors have considered. First up, Artificial Intelligence (AI). ChatGPT launched at the end of 2022, and 2023 became the year of AI.

Today, Lawfare is launching the Trump Disqualification Tracker—a page created by @hyeminjhan and Caleb Benjamin to track challenges in the states to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot under Sec. 3 of the 14th amendment.

Episode One of The Aftermath, "Day Zero, Ground Zero" delves into what happened on Jan. 6. Hosted by Lawfare’s executive editor, @nkorpett, the episode details the events of the day and the accountability questions that arose after the attack. The episode delves into how security at the Capitol complex failed and who bears political responsibility for the event. @Grace_Segers and @AndyKimNJ —who were at the Capitol that day— detail what they were hearing, feeling, & thinking when violent rioters breached the building.

Former President Trump has been indicted for allegedly mishandling classified documents in the Mar-a-Lago investigation. Here’s a running thread of our coverage, all in one place ⬇️ When news of the indictment in the Mar-a-Lago case broke on the evening of June 8, Benjamin Wittes and @S_R_Anders wrote about what we knew at the time, and what we didn't: lawfareblog.com/trump-indicted…

The death of Tyre Nicholas at the hands of Memphis police has brought renewed public attention to the issue of police violence. Read and listen to @lawfareblog’s past coverage of violence in policing and legal mechanisms for accountability:

.@qjurecic wondered if this was going to be a "clips show" but was pleasantly surprised.

Biggest news for her was the 5 minutes of footage of leaders of Congress discussing what to do about the riot--calling other leaders for help. Shows how dire the situation was.

Are you watching the hearing today?

You may recall some internal division in Lawfare on how the DOJ is doing so far on the January 6 investigation.

Now, @qjurecic @benjaminwittes @nkorpett and Peter Strzok have created a rubric to judge the DOJ going forward: lawfareblog.com/how-evaluate-p… The team has 8 standards against which you can usefully measure how much confidence you should have in the Justice Department’s investigation over the next several months.

First, is there additional movement on the John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark cases?
