Another Republican…

[Senator John Curtis @SenJohnCurtis]

Jensen Huang’s gross negligence exposed cracks in our national security, but Secretary Lutnick’s reported stalling on export controls raises the question of whether the Commerce Department is acting in the best interests of the American people. We need answers and accountability from both immediately.

[Diego Areas Munhoz @Dareasmunhoz]

LUTNICK has agreed to testify on the Hill

[Diego Areas Munhoz @Dareasmunhoz]

This will be a key investigative lane for Hill and admin. As we've been reporting since yesterday, senior lawmakers and folks in the IC still don't know the exact nature of the relationship between Alice Huang and the Chinese government

[Reuters @Reuters]

US Justice Department has not concluded Alice Huang was Chinese spy, Blanche says https://t.co/zDUfZ9hVkt

Incredible stuff

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

WOW -- Bessent throws Lutnick under the bus: "Treasury, War, USTR, and State were in favor of putting Megaspeed on the entity list for months, but Commerce has the pen. You will have to ask them about their internal processes."

Here’s NVDIA comment regarding the letter to GC TETER:

“As previously communicated, NVIDIA continues to make itself available to inform lawmakers. We look forward to engaging with the Committee on this new request.”

Massive news

NEWS: Sen. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN will challenge Schumer for Senate majority leader, per multiple sources

The Maryland Democrat and prominent progressive has been weighing a bid

[Diego Areas Munhoz @Dareasmunhoz]

If the schedule holds we’d have Jensen on the hill Dec 1 for briefing and Dec 3 for a hearing in Banking. Dec 3 would also be when Kessler is at HFAC. And Dec 10 would be Lutnick

Busy December!

Ps: can the letters stop? Would love to eat dinner

Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology.

I am requesting that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testify before the Senate Banking Committee.

The American people deserve answers.

[Diego Areas Munhoz @Dareasmunhoz]

SCOTT wants both men in for separate PUBLIC HEARINGS. He told HUANG Dec 3 and LUTNICK Dec 10. He has a subpoena threat for Huang but not for Lutnick
