House Republicans reportedly prepare to subpoena Jensen Huang over alleged affair with suspected Chinese spy
🎧 Listen to this story
Bloomberg, cited by TechCrunch, reported that House Republicans are preparing to subpoena Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang if he does not respond by the end of Wednesday to a request for a joint, closed-door briefing. The lawmakers want to question him about his alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese spy.
House China committee Chairman John Moolenaar told Fox Business that Huang would likely be subpoenaed if he declines the invitation. Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said his committee was preparing the subpoena. Nvidia did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
If it moves forward, the subpoena would put Nvidia’s CEO under congressional scrutiny in a matter combining business relationships, espionage allegations, and concerns involving China. The case could also increase public pressure on how the company responds to lawmakers; Nvidia did not immediately comment to TechCrunch.
