Top trade committee Democrats launch probe into Trump administration approving Nvidia’s chip sales to China
The senators want records preserved on chip export decisions and alleged national security failures tied to Nvidia's China sales.
- Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons demanded that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House chief of staff Stephen Miller preserve all records tied to Nvidia's China chip sales and CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a suspected intelligence asset.
- Allegations emerged this week that Huang's relationship with Alice Huang aided at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to China, and Rubio previously briefed President Donald Trump on the affair.
- The senators wrote that "this incident raises significant concerns about the federal government's ability to effectively enforce our export controls and protect our national security," questioning whether counter-intelligence recommendations were overruled.
- National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and Sen. Kevin Cramer urged Huang to resign by early Wednesday, while House Republicans indicated openness to subpoenaing the CEO for a briefing.
- Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to convene soon to decide on Huang's dismissal following reports of a second extramarital relationship revealed by The New York Times.
