What happened

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is under pressure over his handling of Nvidia's chip sales to China after CEO Jensen Huang resigned amid a spy scandal.

Critics inside the administration and in Congress say Lutnick's department grew too close to Nvidia and failed to police its China sales, according to The New York Times.

U.S. authorities suspect Alice Huang of spying for Beijing; China denies this, and Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department has reached no conclusion.
