Jensen Huang Agrees To Testify Before Congress Over Relationship With Alleged Chinese Spy

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 [People’s Republic of China] 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.

Huang is accused of engaging in a second affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, The New York Times  reported. A video reportedly identified the pair engaging romantically at a hotel in San Jose, California.

Alice Huang used her relationship with the chipmaker CEO to access export-restricted Nvidia chips and helped ship them to China, Reuters reported. Nvidia established a verbal agreement with clients to limit Chinese customer sales to 49%, according to Financial Times.

“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Huang said in his Sunday confession in a company-wide email, according to Axios.

President Donald Trump was reportedly informed of Alice Huang’s ties to China in 2025 but took no actions. The Department of Justice (DOJ) overtook the criminal investigation into Megaspeed following an email from Nvidia’s lawyer, Tim Teter, to the Commerce Department, The New York Times reported Monday.
