Google officials are “putting profits before country” by working with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei to develop and install “smart speakers” in the homes of millions of U.S. consumers, according to three Republican senators.

“Three weeks ago, a representative from your company denied, under oath, that Google has been conducting any substantial business in China,” Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai in a letter made public on Aug. 7.
