Senate Banking Republican calls on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to resign

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, told Politico that Jensen Huang should step down as Nvidia CEO, arguing that the potential for extortion stemming from his affair with a businesswoman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset is too great given how sensitive Nvidia's chips are. Cramer called the board's independent investigation "fine, but not nearly enough." Nvidia's independent directors this week hired former acting SDNY U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim and Wachtell Lipton to run the review; the company says it has no reason to believe national security or its secrets were compromised.
