Senate Banking Committee summons Jensen Huang and Howard Lutnick to testify

On November 13, 2026, at 20:04, Fortune reported that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to testify next month on matters the committee frames as raising "grave national security concerns." The committee stated that if the two do not appear as requested, it will issue subpoenas to compel their testimony. In its explanation, the committee said it is seeking answers to questions that raise serious national security concerns, and the testimony request is tied directly to that effort. As of the time of the report, the matter remains at the stage of the committee's formal request, with no public information yet on whether Huang or Lutnick have agreed to appear, what format the hearing would take, or any further scheduling details beyond the committee's stated expectation of testimony next month.
