Senator Booker, why do you think President Trump claimed he only recently learned about Hong's affair with the suspected Chinese spy if he was, according to CNN's reporting, briefed on it by Secretary of State Mark Rubio back in May? Well, it seems like a lie, and we need to get to the bottom of this. Remember, this is a company that has been mingling at Mar -a -Lago, has been donating to Trump's ballroom courting him in order for him to lift export controls to Nvidia to sell their chips. And not only is it a national security issue then, it's also a corruption issue.
