Today's Lawfare Daily is an episode of @scalinglaws.bsky.social, produced with @utexaslaw.bsky.social, where @kevintfrazier.bsky.social spoke to @petereharrell.bsky.social about the White House’s announcement that it will take a 10% share of Intel, the policy rationale for the stake & its legality.

A 10% stake in Intel may be the start of a new approach to industrial policy. Rumor has it defense contractors may be next. What's the policy rationale for the US Govt seeking equity in private firms? And, perhaps more importantly, is it legal? @petereharrell.bsky.social joins the pod.

What's the legal authority for the Intel deal? - CHIPS Act? - DPA? - Both? - Neither? Big thanks to @petereharrell.bsky.social for joining @scalinglaws.bsky.social to help answer this question & explore the larger policy implications of this announcement.
