Congress demands answers on Trump ally Huang's suspected spying scandal
Congress is demanding investigations and classified briefings after revelations that NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang, a Trump ally, had an affair with a businesswoman suspected of spying for China, raising national security concerns. Huang resigned as CEO on Nov. 12 after frequent contact with President Trump, including trips to Beijing and White House events. The woman, Alice Huang, is under federal investigation for allegedly smuggling NVIDIA chips to China, with lawmakers seeking testimony from Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Trump, briefed months ago, has defended Huang as "honorable" and expressed no regret. NVIDIA's stock dropped sharply, and both parties are pushing for export controls and oversight, while the Justice Department continues its investigation into the suspected spy.
