Nvidia hires law firm to investigate CEO's affair with alleged China spy

Nvidia has hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to independently investigate CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a business executive suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy. The inquiry, led by former acting US Attorney Joon H Kim, will examine all available information, though Nvidia stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Huang has committed to cooperating with the review, while China has rejected the espionage claims. The investigation follows a shareholder lawsuit filed in California accusing Nvidia and Huang of deceiving investors about the relationship and its national security implications, which allegedly posed a material risk to the company's reputation and business prospects.
