Howard Lutnick agrees to testify as bipartisan pressure grows over Nvidia scandal
NBC News reports that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before Congress on 12 November 2026 over national security concerns in the expanding Nvidia scandal, after bipartisan pressure from lawmakers including Sen. Tim Scott, who asked Lutnick and Jensen Huang to appear before the Senate Banking Committee in December. Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO earlier that day after reports he had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, and House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast threatened a subpoena if Huang does not confirm a 1 December closed-door interview.
