Jensen Huang’s alleged affair with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset has triggered scrutiny of US chip exports to Beijing
Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been called to testify before Congress alongside US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over national security concerns sparked by an alleged affair between Huang and a suspected Chinese spy.
Senator Tim Scott sent letters to both men on Thursday, seeking their testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in early December.
“Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive US technology,” Scott wrote on social media. “The American people deserve answers.”
Huang’s appearance is voluntary, but the committee warned it is prepared to use “all tools” at its disposal, including subpoenas, if he refuses to testify.
Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology.

The scandal erupted earlier this month following reports linking the CEO to Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a businesswoman formerly associated with Singapore-based Nvidia chip buyer Megaspeed International.
