Commerce Secretary Lutnick agrees to testify on Nvidia as bipartisan pressure grows

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Dec. 10 about the Nvidia scandal and his department's handling of AI chip sales to China, NBC News reports. Chairman Tim Scott summoned Lutnick and former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was asked to appear Dec. 3, as critics question whether Commerce went soft on chip sales to firms such as Megaspeed. The White House says it is standing by Lutnick.
