## Summary

Nvidia’s board has opened an independent investigation into chief executive Jensen Huang after reports that he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The claims concern his reported close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman accused of passing information to Beijing, raising questions about potential risks to company or national security.

The company’s shares fell 5% in pre-market trading, while Republican lawmakers asked Huang to brief two House committees on the company’s safeguards against foreign espionage.
