Story summary

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, leading his company's board to launch an independent investigation. The board hired New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and former acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim to conduct the probe. Republican-led committees in the House of Representatives are also demanding that Huang testify about Nvidia’s security protocols against foreign espionage. Rep. Brian Mast has indicated he is prepared to issue a subpoena if Huang does not comply by Wednesday. The affair and potential espionage allegations have raised concerns over national security and corporate integrity, with Democrats and Republicans alike scrutinizing Nvidia's relationship with China.
