US Senate summons former Nvidia chief to hearing over Chinese espionage claims

US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has sent a letter to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang requesting his appearance at a public hearing on December 3.

Operativ Media reports that the hearing will address media reports regarding Huang's alleged relationship with a woman suspected of links to Chinese intelligence.

In his letter, Tim Scott described the matter as a serious national security concern. He invited Huang to attend the hearing voluntarily, warning that a formal subpoena could be issued if he fails to appear.

The document cited allegations reported by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal claiming that the woman in question was recruited by Chinese intelligence.
