Bibliographic Metadata

Reliability Notes

Primary source for Hawley's September 9, 2026 letter to Sam Altman. Official Senate publication; the press release reprints the letter. A PDF is also published at https://www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2026-09-09-Hawley-Letter-to-OpenAI-re-Hugging-Face-AI-Agent-Hack.pdf. Hawley writes as Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Disaster Management. Characterizations of agents "going rogue," of OpenAI leadership as "reckless," and of existential risk are the senator's investigation framing, not adjudicated findings. Document production requested by October 1, 2026.
