WaPo: Nvidia-Huang scandal threads AI, China, and Trump billionaire ties into a post-midterm liability

Summary

The Washington Post argues the Nvidia-Huang scandal binds together AI buildout, data centers, chip exports to China, and favors for billionaires — the exact themes Democrats used to flip Congress. Trump's frequent White House meetings with Huang while Nvidia lobbied to loosen China chip controls, and Nvidia's $25M contribution toward Trump's ballroom, tee the story up as the White House's first big post-midterm political liability.
