Nvidia's board of directors has launched an internal investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following reports of an affair with a woman suspected of spying for China. According to reports by N12 and Maariv, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned senior Trump administration officials months ago about the intimate relationship, citing concerns over the potential leakage of sensitive strategic information. China has denied allegations of espionage, dismissing the reports as vilification. Nvidia has stated that it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Further details regarding the investigation remain unknown.
