Senate Banking chair seeks testimony from Nvidia's ex-CEO and Commerce chief

reuters.com [$] —

US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has requested testimony from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over national security concerns tied to recent developments at the company. Huang resigned from Nvidia following reports of a relationship with Alice Huang, whom US authorities suspect of spying for China. Lawmakers also criticized Lutnick over the administration's refusal to blacklist dozens of Chinese firms and oversight of Nvidia's exports to China. Scott warned he may subpoena Huang if he declines to appear voluntarily. Three House committees separately demanded closed-door interviews with Huang and Nvidia's counsel, while White House officials discussed whether Lutnick should be removed. China denies Alice Huang is a spy.
