Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons asked Trump administration officials Wednesday, Nov. 11, to retain records about Nvidia’s advanced AI chip exports to China and a reported intelligence operation, Anadolu Agency reported.
The recipients included Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Marco Rubio in his roles as secretary of state and national security adviser, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The senators set Nov. 17 as the deadline for officials to confirm in writing that they had issued preservation directives, Anadolu said.
The senators also asked officials to preserve all records specifically related to the reported intelligence operation. They requested a briefing for members of Congress on potential risks tied to it.
Anadolu reported that the senators questioned whether federal officials can enforce export controls and protect U.S. national security.
