Schumer accuses Trump of dereliction over Nvidia CEO spy affair inaction
qz.com —
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused President Donald Trump of a "dereliction of duty" for failing to act on reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. Schumer made the remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday. Schumer urged Republicans to support bills limiting China's access to U.S. technology, including the AI OVERWATCH Act, MATCH Act, and Chip Security Act. He also requested intelligence briefings for Congress on China's espionage efforts against Nvidia and other AI companies. Trump said Monday he believes Huang's denial of knowing Alice Huang was an alleged spy. Nvidia's board launched an inquiry Sunday, and House committee chairmen have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang on Nov. 18.
