U.S. Congress weighs subpoena for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over China export records
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces intensifying scrutiny as the U.S. Congress considers subpoenaing him to testify over a personal scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy, while lawmakers demand preservation of export records to China. Huang resigned after admitting infidelity with Huang Le, a woman U.S. intelligence suspects of espionage, and reportedly had an affair with a vice president. Three House committee chairs requested a closed briefing on November 18, threatening a subpoena if he declines. Senators Warren and Coons seek documents on Nvidia's China chip exports and Huang's communications with the Trump administration. With Democrats controlling Congress in January, analysts warn of potential export restrictions, including a possible $5 billion write-down if H200 sales to China are banned.
