FBI investigates Nvidia CEO Huang over alleged spy affair
rte.ie —
President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over an affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing, with Nvidia shares falling over 4% amid an internal board probe. Trump said he spoke with Huang, who denied knowing the woman was a spy, and predicted he would "be in good shape." Nvidia's board launched an internal investigation into whether Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence, while Huang told employees he was unfaithful to his wife. Nvidia shareholders filed a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Huang of concealing ties to the suspected spy. Chinese officials dismissed the allegations as slander, while US lawmakers called for stricter AI chip export restrictions to China.
