Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott on Thursday asked Jensen Huang and Howard Lutnick to testify. Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO the same day.
Why it matters: Commerce oversees export controls and had to review Nvidia before chip sales to China were allowed last year. Lawmakers in both parties question that oversight.
Where they split: The dispute is whether the scandal is mainly about Huang's conduct or about what the Trump administration knew and did.
Center coverage, 12 sources: The center focuses on the congressional summons and Huang's close ties to Trump.
Left coverage, 11 sources: The left frames it as a bipartisan national security scandal that also implicates Trump administration oversight of chip exports.
Right coverage, 17 sources: The right highlights Sen. John Kennedy's demand for answers, and argues Lutnick let Nvidia work around Trump's restrictions.
What’s next: House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast wants Huang on Dec. 1. He said a subpoena follows if Huang doesn't confirm by Friday.
