Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang agreed Thursday to testify before Congress about his relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
Huang resigned Thursday after he confessed to an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based tech firm Megaspeed and an alleged Chinese asset, NBC News reported. He agreed to testify about the alleged affair before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and its select committees by Thanksgiving.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar, and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford requested that Huang appear before the committees for a closed-door hearing about his interactions with the alleged Chinese asset.
“Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the access to sensitive U.S. technology and information,” the lawmakers wrote. “The issue of PRC infiltration and access to cutting-edge U.S. technology is core to the investigative work of our three committees this Congress. It is vital that Congress determines the extent to which U.S. national security has been placed at risk.”
A date has not yet been scheduled for the testimony. The Foreign Affairs Committee told the Daily Caller News Foundation that they were in “ongoing negotiations” with Nvidia and Jenson.
