US Lawmakers Summon Nvidia Ex-CEO After Affair With Suspected Spy
Sen. Tim Scott said the committee is seeking answers on national security concerns after reports of a foreign intelligence effort and a 3.6% stake disclosure.
- Republican Senator Tim Scott called for Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify in December before the Senate Banking Committee regarding national security concerns surrounding the former Nvidia CEO.
- On Sunday, Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed allegedly linked to Chinese intelligence, while reports revealed a second affair with Nvidia vice president Kimberly Powell.
- Nearly half a trillion dollars in market valuation evaporated as the scandal forced Nvidia to name Harvey Jones, a former chief executive of chip design software firm Synopsys, as chair and appoint Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO.
- President Donald Trump expressed confidence Huang will 'end up on his feet,' while Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer demanded answers regarding Huang's ties to an alleged Chinese intelligence asset.
- Investigations into whether the Commerce Department failed to address Megaspeed's alleged rerouting of restricted technology to China frame the intense United States-China competition for supremacy in the artificial intelligence industry.
