US Justice Department: No Proof Nvidia CEO's Partner Was a Spy

rts.ch (French) —

The US Justice Department has not proven that Alice Huang, the Chinese businesswoman involved with Nvidia's departing CEO Jensen Huang, was a spy, Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday. An FBI investigation is underway. Blanche confirmed the probe follows press reports alleging Huang worked for Chinese intelligence. President Donald Trump said Washington has not determined her status, noting things "could be different" if she is not a spy. China denies the espionage claim. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while a permanent successor is sought. Jensen Huang, cofounder and fourth-largest shareholder, will also leave the board. Harvey Jones was named Nvidia's first board chairman.
