US agencies and Nvidia board investigate CEO Jensen Huang over foreign intelligence concerns

U.S. federal intelligence agencies and the board of directors at Nvidia are continuing investigations into whether Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang was targeted in a Chinese espionage operation.

The inquiry focuses on an extramarital relationship between Huang and Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based firm Megaspeed. U.S. authorities suspect the company has ties to Chinese intelligence. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed FBI involvement, stating he spoke with Huang, who expressed surprise and maintained he was unaware of any espionage connection.

Nvidia stated an initial internal review found no evidence that corporate data or classified government secrets were compromised. However, the disclosures have raised national security concerns regarding technological supply chains, contributing to a decline in company shares.
