After Jensen Huang is Howard Lutnick the prime target of national security inquiry?

As the national security inquiry intensifies surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emerges as a prime target of investigation. Reports suggest Lutnick, a key figure in the flow of Nvidia chips into China, may have blocked action over the objections of fellow cabinet members and key voices in Congress.

The scandal deepens with the revelation that Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy, was romantically linked to Huang and under investigation by the U.S. government. Despite repeated calls for action from both parties in Congress and multiple agency proposals, Lutnick's Commerce Department steadfastly refused to add Megaspeed, a suspected Nvidia chip diverto, to the entity list.

The memo circulated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, alleging Huang's recruitment by China's Ministry of State Security, highlights the potential role Lutnick played in stalling necessary export controls. As the investigation unfolds, Lutnick faces mounting pressure from his own colleagues within the administration, who express frustration with his perceived pro-China policies.
