Nvidia board probes CEO Jensen Huang over affair with China-linked woman

Nvidia's board has hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate CEO Jensen Huang over potential compromises of company secrets or national security, following his admission of an affair with Alice Huang, who has ties to Chinese intelligence. Former acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim will lead the probe, announced Tuesday. The board stated it has no current evidence of compromised security but will examine all information. Huang has apologized to employees and pledged full cooperation with the investigation. The inquiry follows a Sunday board statement initiating an independent review. Nvidia is central to U.S.-China trade tensions, with Washington restricting top-end chip sales to China over national security concerns.
