A Senate committee has asked that former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appear before them next month to discuss his alleged relationship with a woman who is believed to be a Chinese agent. In a spectacular fall from grace that sent shockwaves across Silicon Valley, Huang abruptly resigned on Thursday as chairman of one of the world’s most valuable companies following allegations of suspected extramarital affairs.
Additionally, in December, the Senate Banking Committee called Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify regarding the shipment of critical Nvidia AI processors to China. In the five days since the scandal broke, Nvidia’s stock worth plummeted by $550 billion (£415 billion).
Huang and Lutnick were summoned by Senator Tim Scott to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday by letter.Posting on X, the South Carolina Republican expressed significant concerns about recent claims that raise questions about our national security and the safety of key US technology. Answers are due to the American people,” he continued. Scott cautioned that the panel might seek a subpoena to force Huang to testify, but he also urged that he come willingly on December 3.
