Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF A FOIA request has uncovered another little-known feature of life at the top of the Justice Department: attorneys general have used alternate email addresses to conduct government business for over a decade. This time around, Bloomberg News Senior Investigative Reporter Jason Leopold obtained the alias used by former Attorney General Pam Bondi. The discovery raises broader questions about government transparency and access to public records. Leopold explains how alternate email addresses can make FOIA searches more difficult when requesters don’t know which accounts officials used to conduct government business -- and how revealing those aliases can help journalists locate records that might otherwise be missed. He speaks with Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Alexis Christoforous. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a push to announce a deal by the first half of 2027, so that it closes during the current administration, according to people familiar with the matter, with the combined market value of the companies being around $3.7 trillion. Musk's endorsement comes at a moment of extraordinary influence for him, having repaired his relationship with President Donald Trump and tapped into fervent investor enthusiasm, but this advantage is not guaranteed to last.
