Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was also requested to testify, had previously praised the commerce secretary for his support and involvement in the industry.

    Fucking crazy that he has to “agree” to testify.

    Assholes like this should already be frog-marched into prison until they can give a straight story about Epstein.

      He doesn’t have to agree. Congress just asks nicely first. If refused, Congress seeks a subpoena, citing the refusal to voluntarily appear. But these things only happen if the majority leader (speaker/VP/committee head) wants it to, and then a majority vote needs to pass. A simple request bypasses a lot of red tape.

    Let me guess what his testimony will be…

    “I don’t recall”
    “I don’t remember that happening”
    “I am not familiar with that”
    “I will ask my staff if we have any record of that”
    “That is not how I remember the conversation”
