Nvidia Hires Former US Attorney to Investigate CEO Jensen Huang
Nvidia has hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted to an extramarital relationship with a Chinese businesswoman accused of spying for Beijing. Joon H. Kim, a partner at the firm and former acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York, is leading the inquiry. Nvidia stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang has committed to cooperating. The Chinese executive, Alice Huang, has been accused of espionage by US intelligence agencies, though China has rejected the allegations. The investigation also scrutinizes Nvidia's board oversight, which has longstanding ties to Huang dating back to the 1990s.
