Even Republicans Think Trump Is Wrong
House Republicans are seeking a national security inquiry into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s reported relationship with Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese intelligence asset. Their calls for scrutiny contrast with President Donald Trump’s public defence of Huang, who says he did not know of the alleged espionage.
Three Republican committee chairs have invited Huang to a closed-door briefing on 18 November about Nvidia’s security protocols and his interactions with Alice Huang, a Megaspee executive; one chair has said he may seek a subpoena if Huang does not attend. Other lawmakers, including Republican Brett Guthrie and Republican Jim Banks, have called for an investigation. Huang has acknowledged an extramarital affair and said he will co-operate, while Trump says the FBI is looking into the allegations.
In short
- House Republicans want an inquiry into Jensen Huang’s ties to an alleged Chinese asset.
- Huang has been invited to a closed-door briefing on 18 November.
- Trump says Huang told him he knew nothing of the alleged espionage.
