The Lunch Hour with Federal Newswire Ep. 162 - Jonathan Bergner
America’s lawsuit system is being quietly reshaped by billions in foreign capital — and most people have no idea it’s happening. In this episode of the Federal Newswire Lunch Hour, Andrew Langer talks with Jon Bergner, Executive Director of Americans for Litigation Tax Fairness, about how third-party litigation funding has exploded into a multibillion-dollar industry, why sovereign wealth funds are pouring money into U.S. lawsuits, and how this creates national-security vulnerabilities, higher consumer costs, and perverse incentives in the courts.
Bergner breaks down how opaque financing, tax loopholes, and foreign investors can influence U.S. litigation outcomes — and why Congress is now pushing the TPLF Act to restore transparency and fairness. A must-watch for anyone interested in law, policy, national security, or the rising cost of doing business in America.
