FBI probes Nvidia CEO's affair with alleged Chinese spy

President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating an affair between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy, after speaking with him on Monday. Trump stated Huang denied knowing she was a spy, saying, "I had no idea she was a spy." US intelligence officials believe Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, worked for Beijing, according to a New York Times report. The revelations knocked about $250bn off Nvidia's value on Monday as shares fell over 4%, and Nvidia has launched an independent investigation, saying it had no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised. Beijing rejected the allegations as "entirely groundless" and intended to smear China. Nvidia, the world's second most valuable company, faces a proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of defrauding shareholders by concealing Huang's ties. Huang has apologized for being "unfaithful" to his wife and has been requested for a closed-door Congressional briefing next week.
