Missouri Attorney General Alleges ChatBots Bias Against Trump

Mis­souri Attor­ney Gen­er­al Andrew Bai­ley has demand­ed infor­ma­tion from Google, Microsoft, Ope­nAI, and Meta over alleged algo­rith­mic dis­crim­i­na­tion and biased respons­es regard­ing Pres­i­dent Trump’s record on anti­semitism. On 10 July 2025, The Hill report­ed that Bai­ley sent let­ters to major tech firms request­ing inter­nal records about AI mod­el inputs after Chat­G­PT, Meta AI, and Google’s Gem­i­ni all ranked Trump last among recent pres­i­dents on anti­semitism issues, while Microsoft Copi­lot declined to respond. The arti­cle begins:

Mis­souri Attor­ney Gen­er­al Andrew Bai­ley ® is demand­ing infor­ma­tion from sev­er­al major tech firms with arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) chat­bots, which he alleges are dis­tort­ing facts and pro­duc­ing biased results about Pres­i­dent Trump. Bai­ley sent let­ters to Google, Microsoft, Ope­nAI and Meta on Wednes­day, ask­ing whether they design their algo­rithms to dis­fa­vor cer­tain polit­i­cal affil­i­a­tions or pol­i­cy posi­tions and request­ing inter­nal records about how they select inputs for their AI mod­els. He took aim at the chat­bots’ respons­es to a ques­tion rat­ing the most recent pres­i­dents on the issue of anti­semitism. While Microsoft Copi­lot declined to respond, Ope­nAI’s Chat­G­PT, Meta AI and Google’s Gem­i­ni all rat­ed Trump last, which Bai­ley slammed as “deeply misleading.”

Key Points

• Bai­ley invoked the Mis­souri Mer­chan­dis­ing Prac­tices Act, claim­ing tech com­pa­nies may vio­late state law through false or decep­tive AI-gen­er­at­ed content
• The attor­ney gen­er­al request­ed doc­u­ments about chat­bot design and algo­rithm devel­op­ment, specif­i­cal­ly ques­tion­ing whether sys­tems dis­fa­vor cer­tain polit­i­cal affiliations
• Chat­G­PT, Meta AI, and Google’s Gem­i­ni all ranked Trump last among recent pres­i­dents on anti­semitism, while Microsoft Copi­lot declined to answer the question
• The inves­ti­ga­tion coin­cides with Elon Musk’s xAI fac­ing back­lash over anti­se­mit­ic respons­es from its Grok chat­bot before imple­ment­ing new guardrails

Andrew Bailey: Key State Level National Conservative

Andrew Bailey is the Attor­ney Gen­er­al of Mis­souri and a promi­nent fig­ure with­in the Amer­i­can nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive move­ment. A for­mer com­bat vet­er­an and con­sti­tu­tion­al lawyer, Bai­ley was appoint­ed Attor­ney Gen­er­al in 2023 after serv­ing as gen­er­al coun­sel to Gov­er­nor Mike Par­son. Since assum­ing office, he has aggres­sive­ly posi­tioned him­self at the fore­front of cul­ture-war lit­i­ga­tion, fil­ing law­suits aimed at cur­tail­ing gen­der-affirm­ing care, abor­tion access, and diver­si­ty, equi­ty, and inclu­sion (DEI) ini­tia­tives. Bai­ley has aligned close­ly with oth­er Repub­li­can attor­neys gen­er­al in chal­leng­ing Biden admin­is­tra­tion poli­cies on immi­gra­tion, stu­dent debt, and ESG (envi­ron­men­tal, social, gov­er­nance) investing.

His appoint­ment of Josh Divine—a known nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive and Fed­er­al­ist Soci­ety affiliate—as Solic­i­tor Gen­er­al fur­ther sig­naled a delib­er­ate ide­o­log­i­cal turn. Pub­licly iden­ti­fy­ing as a “con­sti­tu­tion­al con­ser­v­a­tive,” Bai­ley has defend­ed Don­ald Trump in legal mat­ters, tar­get­ed cor­po­ra­tions over per­ceived “woke” agen­das, and pro­mot­ed leg­is­la­tion and lit­i­ga­tion designed to reshape insti­tu­tions along nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive lines. His rhetoric empha­sizes sov­er­eign­ty, tra­di­tion­al val­ues, and the rejec­tion of pro­gres­sive cul­tur­al norms, mark­ing him as a key legal archi­tect of the nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive project at the state level.
