FBI investigates Nvidia chief executive over alleged espionage ties

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that the FBI has opened an investigation into Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following revelations of his extramarital affair with former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang. Federal intelligence authorities suspect the woman of operating on behalf of Chinese intelligence services to target the technology leader.

Trump expressed surprise over the allegations against his close Silicon Valley ally, noting that Huang claimed to be unaware of any espionage links. Nvidia launched its own independent internal inquiry into whether foreign intelligence targeted its executive, though the company stated there is currently no evidence indicating that proprietary data or U.S. government secrets were compromised. The widening controversy follows earlier media reports detailing potential intelligence operations directed at the semiconductor giant.
