Jacob Wohl is running an AI lobbying company under a pseudonym, Politico reports


AI lobbying is not a crime. However...

LobbyMatic claims on its website that its AI-powered software can do everything — like automatically monitor congressional hearings or “supercharge research” into legislative and regulatory issues. Some of the former employees heard “Jay Klein” referred to as “Jacob.” The former employees looked at videos of Wohl and Burkman online (such as Burkman’s appearance in the Netflix show Web of Make Believe) and told Politico they were a match for “Jay Klein” and “Bill Sanders.” One surreptitiously took a photo of their boss and did a reverse Google image search that matched the man as Jacob Wohl. In years past, Wohl and Burkman have fruitlessly attempted to pin various scandals and assault allegations on figures such as Robert Mueller, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Anthony Fauci, Ilhan Omar, and more.
