Intel intercepts tie Jensen Huang affair to classified Rubio memo

cnn.com —

US intelligence intercepted communications in spring indicating Megaspeed executive Alice Huang was having an affair with then-NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, prompting Secretary of State Marco Rubio to draft a classified memo on the matter. The memo was disseminated to senior US officials, and President Donald Trump was briefed on the topic multiple times, including verbally aboard Air Force One in May. The affair raised counterintelligence concerns given Megaspeed's investigation for potentially diverting sensitive technology to China. US officials remain divided on evidence that Alice Huang was recruited by Chinese intelligence, with Attorney General Todd Blanche stating no conclusions have been reached. Jensen Huang resigned this week amid allegations of additional affairs.
