Recently appointed Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is balking at President Trump’s insistence that he resign over his past connections to Chinese tech companies. Trump made the demand in a post after a Republican senator questioned Tan’s ties to China’s government, military, and businesses, calling Tan «highly CONFLICTED.» The CEO told Intel employees in a letter on Thursday that «there’s a lot of misinformation circulating» about his past positions at Cadence Design Systems and Walden International and that he’s working to make sure the Trump administration has the facts, CBS News reports.
