GOP negotiates for ex-Nvidia CEO Huang to testify before Congress

cbsnews.com —

Republican lawmakers are negotiating with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to testify before Congress following his resignation amid a scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy, with subpoena power threatened if he declines. House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar said Thursday that discussions are underway for Huang to appear, but all three committee chairs would use subpoenas if needed. Huang stepped down after reports of an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Megaspeed suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. The committees requested a closed-door briefing on Nvidia's security protocols and Huang's interactions with the alleged spy. Huang has indicated willingness to appear, though his resignation changes the dynamic. President Trump defended Huang's performance and suggested Apple CEO Tim Cook as his replacement.
