US lawmakers summon ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over affair with suspected spy

khaleejtimes.com —

US lawmakers have summoned Jensen Huang, the former CEO of Nvidia, to testify in December following his resignation over extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. The scandal has erased nearly half a trillion dollars from Nvidia's market value and raised national security concerns. Republican Senator Tim Scott requested Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appear before the Senate Banking Committee, while three House committees seek a closed-door interview on December 1. Huang admitted Sunday to an affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive allegedly linked to China's Ministry of State Security, which Beijing denies. Nvidia's board has named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while searching for a permanent successor, with Harvey Jones as chair. President Donald Trump suggested Tim Cook take over, while Singapore barred Alice Huang in February for providing inaccurate information. Malaysia is investigating Megaspeed over possible AI chip diversion.
