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

U.S. intelligence agencies and Nvidia's board of directors have opened investigations into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang regarding allegations that he was targeted by a Chinese intelligence operation. The inquiries focus on his extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, whom U.S. authorities suspect of attempting to gather semiconductor data for Beijing.

While Jensen Huang acknowledged marital infidelity in an internal memo to employees, he did not explicitly identify the woman involved. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the matter, noting that Huang stated he was unaware of any espionage ties. Nvidia announced that an internal review found no evidence compromising corporate or government secrets, though the developments triggered a decline in the company's stock value.
