FBI probes Nvidia CEO Huang over China-linked affair, Trump says

President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over his affair with a Chinese businesswoman allegedly linked to Beijing, while expressing belief in Huang's denial of knowing she was a spy. Trump stated he asked Huang directly about the allegations and trusts his response, as the controversy escalates following Huang's admission of the affair and pledge to cooperate with investigations. Nvidia's board has launched its own probe, though it found no evidence of compromised national security or confidential information. Nvidia shares fell over 4% Monday, and House Republicans have requested Huang brief Congress. Analysts view Huang's leadership as secure despite governance concerns, given his role since co-founding the company in 1993 and his ongoing advocacy for increased chip sales to China.
