Nvidia board launches internal inquiry following Jensen Huang espionage probe

Nvidia's board of directors has initiated an independent internal investigation into whether Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence services following an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. U.S. federal authorities suspect Alice Huang has ties to Chinese intelligence.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the FBI is actively investigating the matter. Trump expressed surprise at the allegations, adding that Jensen Huang denied any awareness of espionage connections during a recent conversation.

Jensen Huang acknowledged the infidelity to company staff without identifying his partner. Nvidia stated that an initial review yielded no evidence that corporate data or U.S. government secrets were compromised, though company shares fell following the public disclosures.
