I think it\u2019s pretty obvious who made the decision to give them chips: President Trump. Is that not correct?...All the experts we\u2019ve had, and everybody, says \u2018don\u2019t do it. Big mistake. We\u2019re giving away our country\u2019s future.\u2019 He\u2019s more worried about the Kennedy Center\u2019s naming and the ballroom and the golf course.\u201d\n\nSee his line of questioning here.\n\nThe witnesses at today\u2019s hearing were:\n\nMr. Frank Cilluffo \u2013 Director of the McCrary Institute for Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security at Auburn University;\n\nMr. David Feith \u2013 Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute; and\n\nDr. Seth Jones \u2013 President of the Defense and Security Department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-09-03T09:29:33Z", "2026-09-03T09:31:32Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-questions-intelligence-experts-export-controls"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7425155490636826, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
