Nvidia CEO's Affair With Suspected Spy Draws Washington Scrutiny

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny after revelations of an affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, a suspected spy, prompting bipartisan calls for investigations in Washington and a Justice Department probe. The Justice Department is investigating whether Megaspeed, where Alice Huang worked, violated export control laws by routing advanced Nvidia chips to China. Nvidia's board says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang remains in charge. President Trump, who has a close relationship with Huang and awarded him the National Medal of Science, said he believes Huang will be "in good shape." The scandal adds to political pressure following Democratic midterm election gains, with some lawmakers questioning Nvidia's chip sales to China.
