Nvidia board and US agencies probe CEO Jensen Huang over espionage concerns

U.S. intelligence agencies and Nvidia's board of directors have launched inquiries into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang regarding a potential foreign intelligence operation. The investigation follows disclosures that Huang engaged in an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. U.S. authorities suspect she attempted to acquire sensitive technology information on behalf of Chinese intelligence services.

Huang acknowledged the personal relationship in a communication to employees, though he did not identify the individual involved. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the matter, noting that Huang denied knowledge of any espionage connections. Nvidia stated an initial review found no evidence compromising corporate or classified data.
