Senator Tim Scott has called Huang and Lutnick to testify, Nvidia shares fell about 6.3 percent over two days, Reuters reports White House officials discussed pushing Lutnick out, and President Trump — who endorsed Tim Cook for the Nvidia job — says he maintains complete confidence in his commerce secretary.
