Lutnick Also to Appear at U.S. Congressional Hearing on Jensen Huang ... Subpoena if He Doesn't Show

[Financial News] The U.S. Congress said on the 12th (local time) that it intended to continue pursuing an investigation into Jensen Huang even after he was removed as NVIDIA’s CEO over an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy.
There were also calls to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who oversees exports of NVIDIA semiconductors to China, testify before Congress.
According to foreign media reports, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) sent letters that day to former CEO Huang and Secretary Lutnick, demanding that they appear before the committee and testify.
In a post on X, Chairman Scott said, “Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology,” adding that he would consider issuing a subpoena if former CEO Huang did not appear voluntarily. He also stressed, “The American people deserve answers.”
Secretary Lutnick is facing criticism from lawmakers both for not placing dozens of Chinese companies on the U.S. key export blacklist and over whether the government properly supervised NVIDIA’s exports to China.
Separately, senior White House officials are reportedly discussing Lutnick’s removal.
Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts), the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee who is expected to chair it in the next Congress, said in a statement that Huang’s removal “does not absolve the former CEO, other executives, or the company as a whole of responsibility for putting our national security at risk or for potential violations of the law.” She called on Huang and NVIDIA to cooperate with the congressional investigation.
Investigations are also expected to continue in other Senate committees.
Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune, asked by reporters that day whether there would be an investigation, said, “I expect there will be follow-up in this situation, where really significant risks are at stake for national security,” CNBC reported.
