Rep. Richard Neal and Sen. Ron Wyden opened an inquiry Thursday into the Trump administration's handling of Nvidia chip sales to China, TechCrunch reported. Their letter asks Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to preserve records and challenges the legality of an arrangement involving tariffs and export licenses. The lawmakers question continued chip purchases by Megaspeed despite reported intelligence concerns, and whether Nvidia's $26 million in donations to Trump projects influenced decisions. As minority-party lawmakers, they cannot compel answers. Separately, Jensen Huang agreed Thursday to testify in a closed-door session before Republican-led congressional committees.
