Nvidia's Huang Resigns Amid Spy Scandal, but Congress Demands Testimony

Jensen Huang resigned Thursday as CEO of Nvidia amid a spy scandal involving his affair with a woman suspected of passing information to China, but U.S. lawmakers from both parties said they still want him to testify before Congress. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast said Huang agreed to a briefing likely under oath, while House China Committee Chair John Moolenaar confirmed talks are ongoing about his testimony. Lawmakers want details on how much intelligence China gained, potential influence on policy, and chip diversion, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries saying "we've seen the tip of the iceberg." Democrats are also pressing the Trump administration on what it knew, noting the president was briefed about Alice Huang a year ago but invited Jensen Huang on Air Force One in May. Reports emerged that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stalled an authorization to crack down on chip smugglers, prompting calls for investigations from Congress and the Department of Justice.
