Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Chris Coons of Delaware have formally asked the Trump administration to "preserve all records" related to the administration's dealings with Nvidia (NVDA) as Democrats prepare to take power on Capitol Hill in 2027 and promise to probe the issues surrounding CEO Jensen Huang's departure.
The request came in a letter Wednesday evening targeting any administration materials related to the chipmaker's exports to China, as well as the ousted CEO's affair with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset.
Huang's resignation "does not absolve him, other executives, or the company as a whole of responsibility for putting our national security at risk or for any potential violations of our laws," Warren said in a statement Thursday morning adding that Trump officials must still "explain why they have not closed export control loopholes."
The letter was directed to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House chief of staff Stephen Miller and noted reports that Trump officials were aware of concerns about Nvidia, "yet did not move to block the continued flow of advanced AI chips to Megaspeed or other companies affiliated with the suspected operative."
