What happened

Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation on Sunday after reports that foreign intelligence targeted CEO Jensen Huang through a relationship with a Chinese-linked woman.

Huang wrote to staff that he cheated on his wife and apologised to his family, colleagues, board and shareholders.

The board said it has "no reason to believe" national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang has pledged to cooperate fully.

“There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
