Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces bipartisan congressional scrutiny over reported China spy link
What happened
Lawmakers from both parties are calling for congressional investigations into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over his reported relationship with Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese intelligence asset, according to CNBC.
Nvidia's board announced Sunday that a committee of independent directors will run an independent investigation, assisted by outside counsel.
In a memo to staff, Jensen Huang acknowledged an intimate relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, according to CNBC and The Verge.
The board said it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, and that Jensen Huang supports the review and will cooperate.
Three House Republican committee chairs asked him to attend a closed-door briefing on Nov. 18, a day after Nvidia's third-quarter earnings report.
“Congress will investigate and get answers.”
