Nvidia board launches internal inquiry over CEO's affair amid Chinese espionage fears

Nvidia has launched an independent internal investigation to determine whether Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence during an extramarital affair with former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang. The inquiry follows reports that U.S. federal authorities suspect the woman of acting on behalf of Chinese intelligence services. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that the FBI is actively investigating the matter, expressing surprise while noting that Huang denied knowing about any espionage links.

Huang admitted the infidelity to employees without publicly naming the executive. Nvidia stated there is currently no evidence that corporate data or U.S. government secrets were compromised. The semiconductor giant's share price dropped following the disclosures.
