GoKawiilPalantir hires former Sen. Jon Tester as Democratic scrutiny looms
Palantir has brought on former Montana Senator Jon Tester in an advisory role ahead of Democrats regaining House and Senate majorities in January. Tester, who lost his 2024 reelection bid, says the arrangement is advisory rather than lobbying, aimed at helping Palantir present its case to lawmakers. The hire comes amid congressional Democrats' accusations that Palantir's government contracts enable mass surveillance, claims the company has repeatedly denied.
