Democrats open inquiry into Nvidia-China chip sales and CEO Jensen Huang's alleged spy affair
Democrats have launched an investigation into the Trump administration's handling of Nvidia's chip sales to China following the ouster of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Huang resigned after admitting to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy linked to Megaspeed, a company suspected of rerouting Nvidia chips into China. The inquiry, led by Democrats on key Congressional committees, scrutinizes a controversial deal under former President Trump that involved tariffs on chip sales to China and revenue sharing with the U.S. government. Questions focus on why the Commerce Department continued issuing export licenses to suspect companies despite intelligence warnings, and whether Nvidia's substantial donations to Trump's projects influenced approvals. Concurrently, a Republican-led investigation demands Huang's testimony over the affair and chip exports, which he has agreed to after resigning.
