House Republicans threaten subpoena for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over alleged Chinese spy ties

House Republicans are prepared to subpoena Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang if he fails to respond by Wednesday to a request for a closed-door briefing on his reported relationship with an alleged Chinese spy, according to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast. Mast, along with Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford and China Committee Chair John Moolenaar, sent Huang a letter requesting the briefing on Nvidia's security protocols against foreign espionage. The request follows Nvidia's announcement of an investigation into Huang after reports of his affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based executive allegedly linked to Chinese intelligence. Mast said he is "100%" worried about national security implications, noting Huang runs the world's largest chip manufacturer. Nvidia's board stated no evidence suggests national security or company secrets were compromised, while President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating and Huang denied knowing the individual was a spy.
