A growing number of Republicans are accusing Lutnick of not cracking down hard enough on the company and questioning his loyalty to President Donald Trump. However, Lutnick maintains strong support from his own party, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast. The White House maintains that Lutnick has the president's full confidence.",
