Blumenthal calls for Lutnick to step down as scrutiny continues
The Hill reported that Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal called for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to step down amid allegations about Lutnick’s handling of federal oversight involving Nvidia. The call comes in the context of lawmakers’ questions about advanced-chip sales to Megaspeed and the company’s absence from the entity list; the allegations about Lutnick remain unestablished, not findings. Semafor reported that the White House said President Donald Trump maintained confidence in Lutnick and that Lutnick was expected to testify before Congress.
