Congressional Republicans are pressing former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang to testify about his reported ties to Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed who has been accused of being a Chinese intelligence asset, ABC News reported on November 13. The requests came after Nvidia said on November 12 that he had resigned.
The chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and China Select committees, Reps. Brian Mast, Rick Crawford and John Moolenaar, asked in letters dated November 12 for a closed-door transcribed interview on December 1, with written confirmation due by 8 p.m. on Friday, ABC reported. House Foreign Affairs would issue a subpoena if he does not accept, and the other committees reserved the right to do the same. They also asked Nvidia General Counsel Tim Teter to appear on December 2.
Separately, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott requested public testimony from Huang at a hearing on December 3 and said the committee is prepared to subpoena him if he does not appear voluntarily, according to ABC. Scott also asked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify about the department’s handling of Megaspeed.
CBS News reported that Mast said Huang had responded to an earlier House request and indicated he is willing to appear. Moolenaar said the resignation changes the dynamic surrounding his potential testimony, CBS reported. ABC reported no Nvidia statement on the new requests.
The earlier request for a briefing, reported by CNBC on November 5, predates the resignation. The new element is the dated, compulsory-backed push.
