US DOJ probes Nvidia as fallout from Huang's resignation ripples across Washington

- One probe is on antitrust grounds and focused specifically on Nvidia; two others target Megaspeed and Supermicro.
- Megaspeed/Supermicro probes center on Alice Huang, alleged Chinese spy Huang admitted an affair with.
- No indication DOJ would criminally charge Nvidia or Huang at this time.
- Nvidia and DOJ declined comment; Megaspeed and Supermicro did not immediately respond.
