Gavin J. Quinton reports on washingtonsun.com that congressional Democrats led by Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Richard Neal opened an investigation into President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's approval of advanced Nvidia AI chip sales to China. They allege Trump ignored intelligence warnings about CEO Jensen Huang's compromising relationship and approved the exports after Nvidia directed at least $26 million toward his personal priorities; Huang resigned on 12 November 2026 and Brian Mast said Huang has agreed to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
