Nvidia board hires ex-federal prosecutor to probe CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with alleged Chinese spy
Nvidia's independent directors retained former acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Joon H. Kim and the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed whom U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly believe may have passed information to China, the Washington Examiner reported. The board says it has "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised," and President Trump has said he believes Huang "had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy." House Republicans are prepared to subpoena Huang if he does not respond by Wednesday to a request from Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast for a closed-door briefing on Nov. 18.
