"Magician Claims Democratic Operative Paid for Fake Biden Robocall"

A Democratic consultant allegedly paid a magician to use AI to create a fake Biden robocall urging New Hampshire Democrats not to vote in the state’s presidential primary. The magician, Paul Carpenter, claims he was hired by Steve Kramer, who worked for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips, and was paid $150 for the job. Carpenter regrets his involvement and warns about the ease of using AI to mislead. The robocall is under investigation for possible violations of state voter suppression and federal telecom laws, drawing attention from law enforcement officials. Steve Kramer has worked on numerous campaigns and has a history of controversy. The public portion of the investigation has focused on a Texas telemarketing company that distributed the robocalls.
