Second investigation in Congress
Democratic lawmakers in the US have launched a congressional investigation into Nvidia's sales to China and the company's dealings with the Trump administration. According to TechCrunch, this is the second congressional investigation into Nvidia since news of the alleged spy affair broke.
A scathing letter
Lawmakers also wrote a letter with sharp language about an alleged "scheme" between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Trump. Details of the letter and the scope of the investigation are limited in the report.
Why it matters
Nvidia is the largest supplier of AI chips. Its China sales and political ties sit at the center of export control and national security debates. A congressional investigation could directly affect the company's position in that process.
Context
The news follows a scandal surrounding Nvidia and Huang. The company has recently been in the spotlight over management changes and a loss in market value.
