Jensen Huang to face closed-door congressional questioning by Thanksgiving

Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress by Thanksgiving, House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Brian Mast said. The closed-door appearance follows lawmakers’ request for him to answer questions and comes amid scrutiny of Nvidia’s export controls and reports concerning an alleged relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China.

Mast, John Moolenaar and Rick Crawford wrote to Huang on 4 November, asking him to appear before committees they chair on foreign affairs, China and intelligence. Mast said he and Huang had disagreed over export controls, but described Nvidia as important to the United States and said Huang had serious questions to answer. Mast expects the briefing to be recorded and transcribed.
