Quick Summary

Republican lawmakers are pushing for investigations into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his relationship with an alleged Chinese intelligence asset, Alice Huang, despite President Trump defending Huang. American intelligence agencies found that Alice Huang gathered information for Beijing while developing a close relationship with the Nvidia CEO, and Trump was briefed on this in 2025. House Republican committee chairs sent Huang a letter inviting him to a closed-door briefing on November 18 to address security protocols and interactions with Alice Huang, threatening subpoena if he does not attend. Meanwhile, other Republicans and even some Democrats are calling for further investigation, while Trump maintains that Huang was unaware of Alice's alleged espionage activities.

Former White House speechwriter Marc Thiessen, Fox News host Mark Levin, and Ben Shapiro are some of the biggest names who were ripped for not only pushing for escalation against the Iranian regime but also, throughout the past 8 months, being spectacularly wrong about where the war was headed and how it could cripple the Republican Party’s chances of keeping the House and the Senate.
