Nvidia scandal: Trump was briefed on CEO's ties to suspected spy

New reports indicate U.S. President Donald Trump received intelligence on Jensen Huang's links to a suspected spy prior to his visit to China.

According to reports by the Wall Street Journal and Walla, U.S. President Donald Trump was briefed on a romantic relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a woman suspected of spying for China. The intelligence was presented to the President ahead of his state visit to Beijing in May, contradicting Trump's earlier statements that he was unaware of the connection at the time. The revelation has contributed to a two-day selloff in Nvidia's stock, and shareholders have filed a class-action lawsuit against the company alleging the concealment of material information. Meanwhile, the company is continuing its own independent investigation. Further details have not yet been released.
