Key Excerpts:
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): "I give a lot of credit to Chairman Scott of the Banking Committee for demanding not just Jensen Huang but also Secretary Lutnick. What we know is Secretary Lutnick had the power to close loopholes and put Megaspeed on the entity list, and he did not do that. So, the specific questions that I want to ask him are related to that. Why not? After Secretary Lutnick was made aware of these allegations of Chinese espionage and the relationships that Jensen Huang had, why did he not close that loophole? Why did he allow chip diversion and the smuggling to continue? I want to hear from Jensen Huang, but I want to hear from Secretary Lutnick even more."
"I served in a war; I served in Afghanistan. When you're in a war, you do not give your best technology to your biggest enemy, and that is what has been allowed to occur, simply because Secretary Lutnick did not close these loopholes that allowed these chips to go to China. So, these are the important questions."
