Jensen Huang Agrees to Testify Before Congress

Lawmakers want a closed-door briefing on alleged espionage risks and Nvidia’s chip controls, with a subpoena possible if Huang does not appear.

  • On Thursday, ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang agreed to testify before Congress in a closed-door briefing following his resignation amid a scandal involving an alleged affair with Alice Huang, a woman suspected of spying for China.
  • House committee chairs Brian Mast, John Moolenaar, and Rick Crawford requested Huang's appearance after sending him a letter on November 4 asking him to discuss Nvidia's security protocols and interactions with a PRC intelligence asset.
  • Congressional inquiries target Nvidia's relationship with Megaspeed, a Singapore-based firm allegedly involved in smuggling export-restricted chips to China, with the Department of Justice overseeing the criminal investigation following an email from Nvidia's lawyer Tim Teter.
  • Lawmakers are negotiating a date for the closed-door testimony, which will be recorded on video and transcribed, though committee chairs reserve subpoena authority if Huang fails to appear voluntarily.
  • Huang must appear by Thanksgiving as the three committees investigate PRC infiltration and access to cutting-edge U.S. technology, a core issue for Congress this session.
