US agencies and Nvidia board investigate Jensen Huang over espionage concerns

United States intelligence agencies and Nvidia's board of directors have opened inquiries into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following allegations that he was targeted in a foreign espionage operation. The investigations focus on Huang's extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, who U.S. authorities suspect attempted to gather sensitive semiconductor data for Chinese intelligence.

While Jensen Huang acknowledged the affair in an internal employee memo, he did not publicly identify the woman. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the case, stating that Huang denied knowing about any foreign intelligence ties. An internal audit by Nvidia found no evidence compromising corporate or government secrets, though the developments triggered a decline in the company's stock price.
