Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) President Trump said the FBI is looking into Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang’s extramarital relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, and offered his support to the embattled chip magnate a day after the affair was disclosed. Despite the allegations, Trump said Monday that he spoke to Huang earlier in the day to ask how he was doing, and praised Huang as a “very honorable man.” Trump’s remarks on Monday marked the second day in a row that he has defended the Nvidia chief following Huang’s admission that he had cheated on his wife of four decades, a revelation that has plunged the chipmaker at the heart of the artificial intelligence boom into an unprecedented crisis.
2) Anthropic PBC is set to kick off the formal marketing of its blockbuster initial public offering as early as Tuesday after an apparent snafu over the filing documents added a dose of last-minute drama to a nervous market. Monday’s brief clerical misstep, in which a leaked prospectus mistakenly dangled a $69.3 billion fundraising target before getting retracted, provided an unexpected jolt to investors preparing for the Claude chatbot maker’s offering. The number, which the company reportedly later said was outdated, indicated a target that would fall short of an earlier goal of matching SpaceX’s record-setting debut.
3) President Trump offered full-throated support for Pete Hegseth, signaling that the embattled defense secretary’s job was safe for now amid a congressional effort to impeach him for his conduct of the Iran war. Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced a measure on Monday to impeach Hegseth, roughly one week after the president’s party lost its majorities in both chambers of Congress in part because of the conflict in the Persian Gulf.
