Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a congressional subpoena over security protocols
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could face a subpoena from the House Foreign Affairs Committee if he fails to respond to a request for a closed-door briefing. Lawmakers are investigating security protocols following allegations regarding a relationship with a Megaspeed executive.
Rep. Brian Mast, chairperson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, stated that a subpoena will be issued if Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang does not reply to a meeting request. The House invited Huang to a joint, closed-door briefing with the heads of the committees on China, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence to discuss the company's security protocols against foreign adversary espionage. The congressional scrutiny follows rumors and statements regarding Huang's relationship with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang. Nvidia's board of directors has confirmed an independent investigation into allegations that the CEO may have been targeted by China’s Ministry of State Security, and reports indicate the FBI is also looking into the matter.
