The spy story was a hox. US intelligence agencies told CNN that they didn't have any evidence that lady was a spy. Apperantly Rubio got one piece of intel and then wrote a report of his own regarding that intel. He then shared it with news organizations who subsequently ran with it. NYT broke that part of the story. That lady was a smuggler that was selling a lot of chips to Alliexpress. They removed him because he was a huge advocate for keeping AI open source. You know like DeepSeek. Plus he was trying to maneuver Trump towards a less confrontational stance towards China. The whole thing stinks.
