Commerce Secretary Lutnick faces bipartisan criticism over Nvidia CEO's China smuggling scandal

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan criticism for failing to blacklist Singapore-based Megaspeed, a firm linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's personal scandal and suspected of smuggling AI chips to China. Republicans, including Senators and Representatives, demand answers and possible testimony over the Commerce Department's inaction despite warnings from the Pentagon, State Department, and Treasury. Lutnick reportedly resisted action, citing trade war concerns, and was confronted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Huang admitted to affairs with Megaspeed employee Alice Huang, a suspected spy now in Beijing, and another company executive. House Speaker Mike Johnson said the administration is investigating the matter.
