FBI Probes Nvidia CEO Over Affair With Suspected Chinese Spy
The FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after revelations of an extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy, raising national security concerns in Washington. President Trump announced the investigation but said he believes Huang was unaware of the alleged espionage. Huang admitted the infidelity to Nvidia staff, where his two sons work, but did not address whether his alleged lover, Alice Huang, was a Chinese spy. US intelligence had suspected for a year that Alice Huang shared information with Beijing while working with Nvidia on Asian data centers. The affair became public in October via the New York Times, linking Huang to Megaspeed International executive Alice Huang, who allegedly purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips. Nvidia's stock fell 6% Monday, and the board opened an independent investigation, though Huang remains CEO.
