They’re asking Garland about whether his department has "the necessary authority" to crack down on the growing issue and whether "gaps in the current criminal code" make it harder for law enforcement officials to pursue those who create and possess AI-generated CSAM. The lawmakers are also asking the DOJ to launch an internal inquiry into the troubling material.
