I think the point is that whether he did or didn't, there's so much smoke now, that Nvidia is going to be spending the next few years getting drilled by absolutely every law enforcement agency and government. Even if it genuinely turns out that nothing even slightly bad happened, it's quite damaging the amount of scrutiny Nvidia is going to be under for the foreseeable future.

Especially after Democrats now control both House and Senate, that too by a wide margin.

Sounds like this was known or suspected at the highest levels of the administration (Rubio was discussing it per recent reporting). So the question becomes: did Nvidia use a cut out to knowingly avoid the export ban, and if so, did the administration know this?

Yes, they did. Trump talked about an AI CEO committing a crime in the 60 minutes episode, and it is speculated that he was referring to Jensen. And Marco Rubio was frustrated and kept flagging it, but Trump and Lutnick squashed any investigations into it.
