# Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Faces House Briefing

November 8, 2026 at 05:09 PM

> House Republicans have invited Jensen Huang to address national security concerns following a leaked memo alleging ties to a Chinese asset.

A leaked US memo from early 2026 alleges a romantic relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, a former manager at Singapore-based Megaspeed. While Nvidia maintains the contact was professional, reports suggest she was a Chinese asset.

The New York Times reports the Chinese Ministry of State Security recruited Alice Huang to gather AI chip data. Despite Donald Trump being briefed on these findings in 2025, Jensen Huang reportedly never received a defensive briefing from US authorities.

The DOJ is now investigating if export curbs were bypassed after Megaspeed and its affiliates bought billions in Nvidia hardware. House Republicans have invited Jensen Huang to a private briefing on November 18 to address these national security concerns.
