## Key points

- Democrats want Lutnick investigated over a reported classified warning.
- Khanna also raised questions about Rubio’s knowledge.
- Neither official has been formally accused of wrongdoing.

## Summary

Top House Democrats Ted Lieu and Ro Khanna are calling for an investigation into Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over reports that he received a classified warning about NVIDIA chief Jensen Huang’s alleged relationship with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Their calls signal that Democrats may use a House majority to scrutinise how Trump administration officials handled alleged Chinese intelligence threats.

Huang resigned this week after the allegations emerged; Alice Huang, the woman named in reports, is an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed and is not related to him. Lieu alleges Lutnick failed to act after being briefed, while Khanna says officials’ knowledge, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s, needs to be clarified. Neither Lutnick nor Rubio has been formally accused or indicted in the case, and it is unclear whether Republicans will back an inquiry; the Republican chair of the House China committee says Huang has agreed to brief congressional committees.
