"The potential for extortion is so tremendous that something as sensitive as Nvidia chips, I just think he's got to go," Cramer told Politico late on Tuesday.
"If the worst thing he did in real life is infidelity with this woman who may or may not be a Chinese spy — but she might be — that's enough, because whatever else there is, we don't know. And to me, that's a security risk."
