U.S. senators have raised security concerns about a new Metro railcar project. The NIST cybersecurity framework will be part of the process now, the transit authority says.

The lawmakers exhorted the subway system's leadership to “take the necessary steps to mitigate growing cyber risks" to new railcars that could be produced by a Chinese company.

The bills' backers aren't too happy about July reports that a Russian oligarch purchased an election vendor operating in Maryland.

A bipartisan trio of senators have asked the Commerce Department to clarify that U.S. companies are welcome to remove products from their networks made by ZTE.

The House of Representatives' version, which omits the ZTE ban, has to be reconciled with the Senate bill.

New legislation and harsh words have met reports of a Trump-Xi deal that would lift penalties against ZTE.
