President Donald Trump sat for a 60 Minutes interview this year after the midterm elections. He talked about the Republican setbacks in those races. He also mentioned who might follow him in the party. The interview touched on claims of corruption and on artificial intelligence. Trump said Stephen Miller will take over as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. He warned that the administration will see firings following the midterms. He confirmed that Susie Wiles is leaving her post. It remains unknown which other senior officials could be removed or reassigned, or how the changes will shape policy.

President Trump defended Nvidia chief Jensen Huang on Sunday night. Huang has acknowledged an affair and apologized for cheating on his wife. Nvidia’s board said it sees no evidence that the company’s secrets or national security were at risk. The company has opened an investigation into the CEO’s relationship with a person described as a suspected Chinese spy. Congress announced plans to look into the matter as well. When asked if he would bring Huang on an upcoming Asia trip, Trump said he does not know but would certainly consider it. It is still unclear whether any proprietary information was shared or how the affair may have impacted Nvidia’s operations, and the investigation’s conclusions are pending.
