FBI Probes Nvidia CEO's Affair With Alleged Chinese Spy

ndtv.com —

President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese government agent, but said he doesn't think the executive who has helped to develop artificial intelligence has a reason to worry. Huang has acknowledged he had been intimate with a business executive, issuing an apology to his wife and to the company in an open letter posted on Nvidia's website. He did not name the woman. Nvidia announced Sunday it was conducting an independent investigation into reports that Huang was the "target of a foreign intelligence effort." China denied on Monday it engaged in an attempt to ensnare Huang, saying the spying allegations were unsubstantiated and a smear campaign against Beijing. Nvidia stock has shed roughly 11% of its value since last Wednesday, and the company faces uncertainty over a possible successor and scrutiny on issues of national security from members of Congress.
