🇺🇸🇨🇳 Rubio reportedly set Jensen Huang's downfall in motion... with a memo that hit harder than the CIA report it was based on
The Washington Post reports the Secretary of State took a CIA report on Jensen's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and rewrote it in his own, more forceful terms, according to one person familiar with it. When that memo's findings leaked, the scandal began.
A former official who worked on chip policy described what Trump's national security team was after:
"They wanted to destroy the influence Jensen had over the president."
Trump still calls him a "legend." The agencies still can't prove she was a spy.
But three bills restricting chip sales to China are now headed for the defense bill, and the one executive who used to talk Congress out of them is gone.
So ask yourself who came out ahead this week, and you have a good idea why that memo found its way to reporters.
