Semafor reports future appearances by Lutnick and Huang

Semafor reports that Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will testify before the Senate Commerce Committee, while House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast said Jensen Huang will appear before his panel. These are statements about future appearances, not testimony that has taken place. Separately, Politico reports that Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott sent letters requesting separate appearances by Lutnick and Huang at committee hearings next month. The requests do not confirm a single scheduled hearing. The congressional scrutiny concerns lawmakers’ questions about the handling of Megaspeed amid unresolved chip-diversion allegations; these announcements and requests establish neither an export-controls violation nor a final Entity List decision.
