Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on Thursday, ending his 33-year leadership of the $4 trillion chipmaker amid a widening scandal involving alleged ties to Chinese intelligence and reported personal misconduct. The US Senate Banking Committee has summoned Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify on December 3, with Chairman Tim Scott warning of subpoenas if they decline. President Donald Trump reportedly called Huang on Tuesday urging him to stay, while the Justice Department investigates Alice Huang over alleged Super Micro chip smuggling to China. Reuters reported a third alleged extramarital affair involving Huang and an unnamed Nvidia employee, adding to prior claims. Attorney General Todd Blanche said no conclusion has been reached on whether Alice Huang acted as a Chinese spy.
