Republicans in both chambers of the U.S. Congress demand that Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Lutnick testify over the Nvidia China controversy.

Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House sent letters demanding that former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Lutnick testify regarding Huang's relationship with a person accused of being a Chinese spy and whether it affected Nvidia's business with China. Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO earlier this week; he reportedly had an affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who is accused of being a Chinese spy; Huang admitted to the extramarital affair but did not identify the person. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott demanded that Huang testify publicly on December 3 or face a subpoena; the Commerce Department said Lutnick has agreed to appear voluntarily. The chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Select Committees demanded that Huang sit for a closed-door transcribed interview on December 1, and demanded that Nvidia general counsel Tim Teter testify on December 2 regarding AI chip smuggling, adversary militaries' use of Nvidia products, and alleged interference in U.S. export control policy.
