Republicans seek testimony from ex-Nvidia CEO Huang after resignation

abcnews.com —

Republican lawmakers are renewing calls for former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to testify before Congress after he resigned Thursday amid reports of an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, raising national security concerns. Rep. Tim Burchett said Huang's resignation was a "good move" and that he should testify, stating "I don't think he's got anything to hide now. Let it fly." Rep. John Moolenaar, chair of the China Select Committee, cited concerns about potential Chinese intelligence gathering on American technology and chip diversion, adding he would support a subpoena if needed. Lawmakers are in active discussions with Huang to schedule testimony, with a closed-door briefing previously requested for Nov. 18. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic senators are also demanding answers and document preservation related to Nvidia's advanced AI chip exports to China.
