Jensen Huang Agrees To Testify Before Congress
Nvidia’s former CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Capitol Hill lawmakers, according to a person familiar with the matter granted anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
Discussions are underway to decide the time and format of his testimony, the person added.
Huang resigned Thursday following reports of two extramarital affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese intelligence operative that has raised concerns that Beijing attempted to influence U.S. government policy on the export of advanced semiconductors.
A trio of GOP committee chairs — Reps. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) — sent a letter to Huang last week asking him to testify.
Moolenaar told reporters Thursday after Huang resigned that they were in negotiations with Huang to compel his attendance, adding that he was not opposed to subpoenaing the former executive if he did not appear voluntarily.
Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Details of Huang’s expected committee appearance were first reported by CNBC.
