News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. NVIDIA's CEO is squashing rumors of a rift in its negotiations to invest in open AI.
We will invest a great deal of money, probably the largest investment we've ever made.
Jensen Huang's comments today in Taiwan follow a Wall Street Journal report that said NVIDIA planned to invest as much as $100 billion in new data centers and AI infrastructure. Huang didn't give a number, but says it won't be that much. The U.S. government has officially begun a partial shutdown while it waits for the House to approve a funding deal President Trump worked out with Democrats, with Democrats agreeing to fund Homeland Security for two weeks as they negotiate new restrictions on ICE. Republican Congressman Kevin Reilly says he supports a compromise.
We're going to have now two weeks to focus ICE's mission on what I think most people believe ought to be the top priority, which is making sure that individuals who are here illegally and have a criminal record and pose a risk to public safety aren't threatening the safety of Americans.
But Senate Republicans are seemingly split on demands for ICE restrictions. Bloomberg's Nathan Hager has more on what they're saying to Bloomberg government.
North Carolina's Tom Tillis says he supports body cameras in de-escalation training, but he has concerns about ICE officers being banned from wearing masks in case they're doxxed online. West Virginia's Shelley Moore Capito says she's open to reforms as well, but negotiations between the White House and Democrats may be the best path forward. Texas Republican Ted Cruz says Democrats have decided their number one priority is to protect illegal aliens. As he puts it, cameras are not the Democrats' friend. In Washington, I'm Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio.
Meantime, Minnesota just lost a bid to block the Trump administration's recent surge of ICE agents in the state. For now, the judge's ruling basically allows the government to keep about 3,000 officers deployed to Minnesota in Minneapolis and St. Paul, despite two deadly shootings there this month. It's considered a setback for the state and local authorities who've all condemned the operation. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly planned a visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island and maintained contact with him far longer than he'd previously claimed. That's according to new documents released by the Justice Department. They don't suggest any wrongdoing, but messages show Lutnick stayed in touch with Epstein till 2018, despite claiming heat cut ties in 2005.
President Trump has announced his choice to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bloomberg's Ed Kalecki has details.
President Trump says he intends to nominate Brett Matsumoto to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, his second pick for the role that's been vacant since August. The role carries a four-year term and is subject to Senate confirmation. Matsumoto, who has a Ph.D.

in economics, arrived at BLS in 2015. and works within the Division of Price and Index Number Research. He'd recently been on leave to serve at the White House Council of Economic Advisors as a senior economist. Ed Kalecki, Bloomberg Radio.
Reaction's been mixed on President Trump's pick for the Federal Reserve's top job. The dollar rose against all major currencies Friday and stocks fell after the announcement. The Dow and S&P both losing about four-tenths percent. Gold also saw its biggest slide in decades. Kevin Warsh is seen as less supportive of deep rate cuts and more worried about inflation.
