On Friday, Fox Business – which typically extends the benefit of the doubt to allies of President Donald Trump – aired a segment that asked some blunt questions and made some blunt assertions about one White House official’s potential role in a “conspiracy” that has shocked the world over the past week. According to one frequent Fox contributor, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick “has a lot to answer for” if he was involved with schemes to smuggle banned microchips to China.

    Lmao, they’re wondering when the new york times already did an article saying they killed the investigation last year.

    But the case was abruptly transferred to the Justice Department last year. The shift came after Commerce Department investigators working on the case received an email from Nvidia’s general counsel seeking information about the inquiry into Megaspeed.

    It is not necessarily unusual for Commerce Department agents working on a case to speak with a company’s representatives about issues involving their firm. But what was unusual was the content of the message. Tim Teter, Nvidia’s general counsel, said that Jeff Kessler, a top official at the department, had given Nvidia permission to reach out about the case.
