Uncle Sam Buys In: Examining the Intel Deal

Peter E. Harrell, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security, joins Kevin Frazier, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas School of Law and a Senior Editor at Lawfare, to examine the White House’s announcement (cnbc.com/2025/08/22/intel-goverment-equity-sta…) that it will take a 10% share of Intel. They dive into the policy rationale for the stake as well as its legality. Peter and Kevin also explore whether this is just the start of such deals given that President Trump recently declared (cnbc.com/2025/08/25/white-houses-hassett-says-…) that “there will be more transactions, if not in this industry then other industries.” Hosted on Acast.
