<li>President Trump wants Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan to resign immediately because he claims that he is "highly CONFLICTED"</li>
<li>The President's concerns likely relate to a recent DoJ case against Cadence as well an investigation by the Select Committee on the CCP into Walden International's Chinese investments</li>
<li>That both these topics weren't comprehensively addressed and mitigated prior to Mr. Tan's appointment beggars belief. Where was the due diligence Mr. Yeary?</li>
