Democratic Lawmakers Probe Trump Administration After Nvidia CEO Resigns
Democratic lawmakers launched an investigation into the Trump administration's dealings with Nvidia following the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang amid a foreign espionage probe.
Democratic leadership on the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees launched an investigation on November 12, 2026, into the dealings between the Trump administration and Nvidia. The congressional probe follows the resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Huang stepped down after a year-long controversy involving an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based cloud partner Megaspeed. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI are currently investigating reports that Alice Huang acted as a spy for the Chinese government. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that no conclusion has been reached regarding these allegations, and Beijing has denied that Alice Huang is a spy.
President Donald Trump indicated that the determination of whether Alice Huang was a spy would influence the perspective on the resignation. Separately, Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs announced that Alice Huang was barred from re-entering the country in February following an investigation into offenses unrelated to espionage.
