In a court filing on Thursday, June 22, 2017, Uber said it hired Levandowski, a former Google engineer now accused of stealing trade secrets, even though the company knew at the time that he had information that didn't belong to him. Uber hired Levandowski in August 2016 to head Uber's project on self-driving cars, something he worked on at Google. Uber is asserting that Kalanick told Levandowski not to bring the material with him and that Levandowski assured the company that he had destroyed the five discs containing Google information. Uber recently fired Levandowski. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File)
