Three House Republican committee chairs asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on his dealings with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, and on Nvidia’s security protections against foreign espionage. The Hill and CNBC report the letter, which was released Thursday. The letter cites recent reports on Chinese access to U.S. technology without naming them. CNBC, citing The New York Times, reports that U.S. intelligence found Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen, had developed a close relationship with Jensen Huang. RedState and TheBlaze also report the intelligence allegation. CNBC adds that the Times reported President Donald Trump was briefed on the findings about a year ago.
