Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has apologized to company employees for an extramarital affair. According to reports by Globes and the Wall Street Journal, the apology comes amid an internal investigation by the company's board of directors following claims that the woman involved was recruited by Chinese intelligence to gather sensitive information. In his letter to staff, Huang stated he had no excuse for his actions and apologized for the pain caused to his family. The company's stock fell in overnight trading. Earlier this week, President Trump publicly backed Huang, describing him as an honorable man. Further details regarding the investigation have not yet been released.
