Senator urges Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to resign over security concerns
Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer said he strongly believes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang should resign following reports of alleged intimate relationships with an accused Chinese spy and a subordinate executive, citing national security risks. Cramer told CNBC that Huang is "vulnerable to extortion" and that the unknown information an alleged spy could hold about him is concerning. The reports follow a New York Times investigation into Huang's affairs, including one with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who faces accusations of smuggling AI chips to Beijing. House Republicans have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang on Nov. 18 over security protocols, while President Trump has defended him as an "honorable guy." Nvidia's board is reportedly meeting to discuss Huang's potential ouster, and the company has opened an investigation into the allegations.
