## Key points

- Republican lawmakers seek a briefing from Jensen Huang on 18 November.
- Nvidia’s board says it has no reason to believe secrets were compromised.
- The inquiry comes amid US-China tensions over AI chip exports.

## Summary

The new details are that three Republican committee chairs have asked Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on 18 November, and Nvidia is due to report quarterly results the day before. The developments add scrutiny as the company’s board investigates Huang’s relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy.

The board said it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets had been compromised, but would examine available information. The woman is affiliated with Megaspeed, which has been accused of helping restricted Chinese companies obtain Nvidia AI chips; the company has said Megaspeed was previously investigated for evading export controls. The dispute comes amid US restrictions on exports of Nvidia’s most advanced chips to China and Huang’s advocacy for wider exports.
