Secretary Gina Raimondo and her husband own a stake in Chinese conglomerate Tencent, despite the Department of Commerce\u2019s ongoing investigation of the company.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump signed an executive order in January, banning transactions with the holding company which some consider to be the \u201cGoogle of China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen.
