The briefing Trump received in-flight from his nat. sec adviser Marco Rubio has not been previously reported. It contradicts what the president told reporters yesterday about what he knew on the matter before the May trip nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/po…
NEW: Trump was told aboard AF1 en route to China but before he picked up Jensen Huang about the US intelligence about the Nvidia chief and a woman assessed to be a Chinese spy @jonathanvswan @julianbarnes @AnaSwanson me nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/po…
Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, the woman intelligence believes is a Chinese spy who targeted the Nvidia executive, is under company investigation after he admitted it to the board. nytimes.com/2026/11/08/techn…
When that person's name was unmasked by US officials, it was said to be Jensen Huang. At the time, President Trump did not act on the intel about an executive whose company is integral to the president's desire for A.I. primacy over China nytimes.com/2026/11/08/us/po…
The memo cames months after President Trump was briefed, late last year, that the US intel community had been surveilling a top executive at a company called Megaspeed, who was believed to be a Chinese intel operative and was involved with a person in the US.
NEW: Nat Sec Adviser Marco Rubio oversaw drafting of a highly classified memo this spring that the intel community assessed a woman who had established a close relationship w Jensen Huang was working for China's Ministry of State Security nytimes.com/2026/11/08/us/po…

To understand the new White House chief of staff, @StephenM, you have to read @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan’s book. In my review @thedispatch earlier this year, I identified him as the most dominant character in it not named Donald Trump. thedispatch.com/article/step…
.@tylerpager @jonathanvswan and I had reached out to the White House to request comment for a story that Trump told many people he planned to replace Wiles, and that Stephen Miller was the likely replacement. Shortly before the deadline we gave, the president posted the news.
NYT coverage here > nytimes.com/live/2026/11/06/…
Stephen Miller is the new White House chief of staff, President Trump announces on Truth Social. NYT story coming shortly.

Which led to another person on the call saying, "I thought the cyanide remark was a good transition to discuss our plans for next Tuesday when we’re all together..."
