Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has exited the company following a bombshell report that he was involved in an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed allegedly linked to Chinese espionage.
The scandal has immediately landed in Washington's crosshairs, setting up congressional showdown over how the affair might have jeopardized U.S. artificial intelligence dominance.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters on Thursday he expects follow-up action due to the severe national security stakes.
Republican leaders immediately summoned Huang to Capitol Hill, prepared to subpoena him if he failed to appear before the congressional oversight panels.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is also facing intense heat after reports surfaced that he stalled President Donald Trump's efforts to curb Nvidia chip exports to China.
The Justice Department has officially taken over the investigation into Megaspeed, which was initially handled by the Bureau of Industry and Security and subsequently handled by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
