President Trump called Jensen Huang on Monday to check on him and said the embattled CEO of Nvidia said he had no idea the Chinese honeypot he had an affair with was a spy.
“I did speak to him today just to see if he’s feeling all right,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room.
“He said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy. I asked him that question. Did you have any idea that she was a spy? He said I had no idea that she was a spy, and I really believe him.”
Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang — no relation — who is suspected of spying for China.
Trump said he is “amazed” following the admission, and he views Jensen “as a very high quality person.”
The president said the FBI was investigating the matter but predicted Jensen would come out of it just fine.
“He’ll look into it. I know the FBI is looking into it in terms of something else, and I think that he’ll be in good shape,” he said.
