Summary
Rep. Ted Lieu and Rep. Ro Khanna said House Democrats plan to investigate Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over reports he received a classified memo about Jensen Huang’s alleged relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and failed to act.
The push follows NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s resignation this week after allegations he had an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive identified in reports as a suspected Chinese spy.
Khanna also said Secretary of State Marco Rubio could face scrutiny, arguing lawmakers need to know what administration officials knew and when; neither Rubio nor Lutnick has been formally accused or indicted.
Democrats’ comments point to how their incoming House majority in January could target senior Trump officials over alleged Chinese intelligence threats, though Republican support for such probes remains unclear.
Separately, House China panel Chairman John Moolenaar said Huang will brief congressional committees and urged quick passage of bipartisan export-control measures in the year-end defense bill.
