Senator Tim Scott cited recent reports raising serious questions about the protection of sensitive U.S. technology. The committee is particularly interested in whether loopholes allowed high-end chips to be sold to China, despite directives to the contrary. Both individuals are expected to appear on December 3rd and 10th, respectively, or face subpoenas. AI
