Nvidia CEO's affair with suspected spy draws Washington scrutiny
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny after revelations of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying, prompting bipartisan calls for investigations in Washington. The Justice Department is investigating whether Megaspeed, where Alice Huang worked, violated export 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 Jensen Huang and awarded him a National Medal of Science, said he believes Huang will be "in good shape." The scandal adds to concerns about AI chip exports to China, with some Democrats questioning whether the relationship compromised American technology.
