- Independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, will oversee the board’s inquiry into reports of an intelligence effort targeting CEO Jensen Huang.
- The board said it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised; the inquiry will examine all available information.
- The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials had determined Megaspeed executive Alice Huang was funneling information to Beijing; China denied the allegations.
- Republicans on the Select Committee on China asked Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on Nov. 18; whether he will appear is unknown.
“I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.”— Jensen Huang, in an internal message to NVIDIA employees shared with ABC News.
