Trump backs Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid Chinese spy affair investigation
President Trump called Jensen Huang "a fine person" and "an honorable guy" who "probably has an excuse," and said he should stay on as Nvidia CEO, after Huang admitted to an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence reportedly suspects was a Chinese spy. Trump said he had not spoken to Huang about it and, asked whether he wished he had acted sooner on intelligence he was briefed on, praised Huang's work for the country. Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation and says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, while House Republican committee chairs have asked Huang for a closed-door briefing on Nov. 18.
