Ron Wyden and Richard Neal announced an investigation on November 12 into the administration’s approval and taxation of NVIDIA chip sales to Chinese companies.

The Democratic lawmakers requested preservation of Commerce Department records concerning semiconductor tariffs, NVIDIA export-license applications and communications involving the company or Jensen Huang.

They launched the inquiry amid reporting about Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese intelligence asset. Their criticism of the tariff arrangement and administration conduct represents their allegations and legal position, rather than a court ruling or a completed investigation.
