FBI Probes Espionage Case Involving Nvidia CEO's Affair

President Donald Trump announced that the FBI will investigate an espionage case involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of passing classified information to China. Trump said he spoke with Huang on Monday and believes his denial of knowing she was a spy. Huang admitted the relationship in a message to employees, taking full responsibility for his actions. Nvidia opened an independent investigation into whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, with the executive pledging full cooperation. The New York Times reported the woman, Alice Huang, was a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer. US authorities concluded Alice Huang acted as a Chinese intelligence agent, and Megaspeed bought over $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips in two years. Trump was reportedly informed of the suspicions a year ago but took no action over fears of harming Nvidia's business and US-China relations.
