Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing potential removal by the company's board following reports of an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed who is alleged to be a Chinese intelligence agent. The scandal has intensified as new reports suggest Huang may have been involved in a second affair with a senior executive reporting to him. The news caused Nvidia's stock price to drop significantly in extended trading. Concurrently, House Republicans have set a Wednesday deadline for Huang to agree to a closed-door briefing regarding national security protocols, with some lawmakers threatening a subpoena. Scrutiny has also turned toward the Trump administration's prior knowledge of the affair and its impact on trade blacklisting decisions.
