US agencies and Nvidia board investigate Jensen Huang over espionage concerns

U.S. intelligence services and Nvidia’s board of directors have initiated investigations into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following 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 Washington suspects of attempting to extract semiconductor data for Beijing.

While Jensen Huang admitted to marital infidelity in a memo to employees, he did not name the woman involved. Speaking with U.S. President Donald Trump, who confirmed that the FBI is examining the case, Huang stated he was unaware of any espionage connection. Nvidia stated an internal review found no evidence that corporate or government secrets were compromised, though news of the investigations caused an immediate dip in the company's stock value.
