Congressional panels seek Nvidia interviews as chip export proposals gain support
Image: Primary House committee chairs requested closed-door transcribed interviews with Jensen Huang on Dec. 1 and Nvidia General Counsel Tim Teter on Dec. 2, Roll Call reported. Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott separately called for Huang to appear at a Dec. 3 hearing and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick at a Dec. 10 hearing.
The requests broaden congressional scrutiny beyond Democrats' inquiry into the administration's Nvidia export dealings. A proposed amendment to the Senate defense authorization bill includes measures to detect chip diversion and ban exports of certain powerful chips to countries of concern. The House bill lacks similar language, though House Armed Services Chair Mike D. Rogers expressed support for including semiconductor export controls.
