US Congress Steps Up Scrutiny Of Trump, Jensen Huang Over National Security

Key US lawmakers on Thursday called for clarity on what the Trump administration knew about Nvidia chief Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, after the AI chip giant announced his departure.Huang, now Nvidia's former CEO, had pushed for looser rules on sales of US chips to China -- crucial in the AI race -- and the controversy has reenergized advocates of a hard line on Beijing, days before Donald Trump travels to China."Despite Jensen Huang's resignation, Congress must demand answers from Mr.

Huang and others at Nvidia about how they may have put US national security at risk," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on social media."The Trump administration must also answer for what it did once it learned about Mr.

Huang's relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset," he added.Huang, a co-founder of the AI chip giant, on Sunday acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed.
