Jensen Huang agrees to testify before Congress

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress by Thanksgiving, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast announced Thursday, according to Bloomberg and NBC News. Huang stepped down as CEO following reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China. He agreed to testify on Wednesday after senior lawmakers threatened to subpoena him. The request came in a November 4 letter from House Republicans Mast, John Moolenaar, and Rick Crawford, who chair the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and the Intelligence Committee, respectively. Mast said he and Huang have been at odds over export controls but stressed Nvidia's importance to the U.S., adding that Huang has serious questions to answer. The testimony will take place behind closed doors, though Mast expects it to be recorded on video and transcribed.
