Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with suspected spy triggers Washington probes

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for China has triggered investigations in Washington, threatening his influence with President Donald Trump and the company's role in the U.S.-China AI race. Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, allegedly fed intelligence and advanced chips to China, prompting probes by the Justice Department and bipartisan calls for congressional investigations. Nvidia is conducting an internal review, while Trump said he believes Huang will "be in good shape" after speaking with him. The scandal unfolds amid Nvidia's central role in U.S. AI dominance, with Huang having advised Trump on export policies and received a National Medal of Science last month. Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, demand answers on whether chip exports to China compromised national security.
