Marco Rubio rewrote CIA assessment on Jensen Huang's alleged China spy link, report says

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly rewrote a CIA assessment about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's ties to a suspected Chinese spy, using stronger language in a memo that contributed to Huang's resignation from Nvidia on Thursday. Rubio, who also serves as national security adviser, issued a memo to President Donald Trump based on the CIA report but recast its findings in more assertive terms, according to a Washington Post report. The memo's leak triggered controversy, with some officials resenting Huang's influence over Trump on AI chip sales to China. The CIA was reportedly not convinced intercepted communications showed the woman knowingly passed information to Beijing, though some officials view her as a counterintelligence risk. Rubio declined to answer questions about his role at a G7 meeting this week.
