Trump calls Nvidia's Huang 'honorable,' says he has not discussed allegations with him
- On Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair, prompting the company's board to launch an independent investigation into whether he was "the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
- The inquiry follows reports that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive suspected by U.S. authorities of "passing intelligence to Beijing" and circumventing export controls on advanced AI chips.
- Nvidia's board said it has "no reason to believe" national security or company secrets were compromised, though it will examine all available information amid a $1 trillion market value decline over the past month.
- House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Brian Mast, House Select Committee on China chairman John Moolenaar, and House Intelligence Committee chairman Eric Crawford requested Huang's appearance on November 18 to discuss the allegations and Nvidia's procedures for protecting sensitive information.
- Chinese government officials dismissed the espionage allegations on Monday as "entirely baseless," while the company has provided no timeline for the independent investigation into the executive's personal conduct.
