Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager

and I'm Karen Moscow. [music] Here are the stories we're following today.

Karen, we begin with the controversy surrounding one of the most influential corporate leaders in the world. Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong has admitted he had an affair with a woman who's been identified as a suspected Chinese spy. Hang disclosed the romantic relationship in a memo to employees saying the NVIDIA board is now launching an investigation and he supports it. Reporters asked President Trump about Jensen Wong yesterday.

I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on. Um I'm sure I hope everything's fine. He's done such an incredible job.

He stay on the CEO.

I think so. Oh, yeah. Sure. And asked if he plans to take Jensen Wong on his upcoming trip to Asia, President Trump said he doesn't know, but would take him along.

Well, Nathan Jensen Wong is one of the most visible and influential CEOs in the world. And Bloomberg Tank anchor Tom McKenzie has more on the impact on Wong.

It's hard to overstate the keyman risks around Jensen. This there is almost a cult of personality within Nvidia around this executive and within the ecosystem. There are Jensen Juan keychains. There are Jensen Huang avatars. This company is built and the ecosystem is built around this man.

Bloomberg tech anchor Tom McKenzie. We are seeing shares of Nvidia take a hit this morning. Right now they're down about 4.2% in early trading.

Well Karen, President Trump has given his first sitdown interview since the Republicans massive losses in the midterm elections. The president spoke with CBS's 60 Minutes. Well, number one, I was not on the ballot, but I campaigned hard for some people. And I think if I was on the ballot, it would have been a much different situation because you saw the level of popularity and love. There was love with massive rallies.

You had to transfer those voters, however, to candidates that they didn't like. But there's something beyond that. They didn't like the war. They didn't like the fact that gasoline went up cuz I had it down at a low. and there's a a great dislike incredibly for Israel.

President Trump also said it's possible his administration has been too tough with its deportation policies.

In that 60 Minutes interview, Nathan, President Trump was also asked about his potential conflicts of interest as Democrats prepare for likely investigations into his family stock trading and crypto ventures once they take control of Congress.

I devote almost no time to my net worth. I don't care. I make I have a lot of money and [clears throat and snorts] far more than I ever thought I'd have and I guess it's gone up. I don't even know.

And President Trump again on CBS's 60 Minutes last week. The likely next chair of the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia, warned the president's team to quote, "Lawyer up." And that prompted this response from Attorney General Todd Blanch.

If these threats telling our people to lawyer up that's what these what these new incoming leadership wants to do, we are ready. And all if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me.

And Attorney General Todd Blanch appeared on Fox News Sunday.

Well, Karen, one investigation into the Trump administration could begin as soon as this week. Outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has said he will reintroduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegth. When Congress returns for the lame duck session, the likely next speaker of the house, Hakeim Jeff, says he's all for it. The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people, and made the country less safe.

Pete Hexath has got to go. House Democratic leader Hakee Jeff told ABC's this week he's a quote hard yes for impeaching Secretary Hegsath. Meanwhile, Nathan, other incoming Democrats are setting their priorities. Michigan Senator Elect Abdul al Sed says he's willing to work with President Trump on affordable health care.

If he wants to pass Trump Care for all, which will guarantee healthcare to everyone, and put his name on it, like he's putting his name on everything, I'm game. Let's let's see if he wants to do that.

And Michigan Senator Elect Abdul Al Sayed was also on ABC's This Week. and soon to be Senator Adam Hamilton of Kansas says he'd be disappointed if Democrats spent the next two years focused on investigations.

Clearly, the bigger priority for me and I think for most people in America, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is please help us with the cost of living.

And Kansas Senator Elect Hamilton tells NBC's Meet the Press he also wants to end the war in Iran as quickly as possible. Listen for NBC's Meet the Press and this week from ABC every Sunday on Bloomberg Radio.

Well, let's turn to the war with Iran. Karen, President Trump has struck a more consiliatory tone, saying it is highly unlikely he would order extensive strikes on the Islamic Republic. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran is still far from making a deal.

The president would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that's not possible, unfortunately. But if there's a chance to do it, we'll explore it. Right now, it hasn't been very productive because the the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable, but in some cases outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.

That was Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And overnight, Iranian media reported the US again struck targets outside residential and commercial areas on Keshum Island in the street of Hormuz.

While staying overseas, thousands of troops from European allies are taking part in a joint military exercise. Today they're gaming how to enforce a potential peace treaty in Ukraine. It comes as new details are emerging over the death toll during the war. According to confidential data held by the country's statistics agency, Rastat, Russia has recorded the deaths of about 400,000 of its people fighting in Ukraine since the fullscale invasion almost 5 years ago.

In Israel, Karen election challenger Gotti Eisenkot is getting the first attempt to form a new government. He was formally handed the mandate yesterday by President Isach Herzog, who noted the immense challenges facing the country. Bloomberg's Dan Williams in Jerusalem says the move puts Eisen quote a step closer to ending Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's record tenure. The signals he's giving is that he's already hard at work negotiating with potential partners.

And Netanyahu at least is saying that he expects Eisenot to present some sort of government this week. Netanyao sounding the alarm saying that he will be in bed with what what Netanyao referred to as terrorism supporters. That's a veiled reference to parties that represent Israel's Arab minority.

And Bloomberg's Dan Williams says Gotti Eisenot will have up to six weeks to try to form a coalition that accounts for the majority of the 120 seat Kesset.
