Trump Says FBI Is Looking Into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Alleged Spy Connection

President Donald Trump said the FBI is looking into Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his relationship with a woman suspected of working for Chinese intelligence, according to the Financial Times and Reuters.
Speaking at the White House on Monday, Trump said he had personally contacted Huang, who told him he was unaware of the woman's alleged intelligence connections. Trump expressed confidence in the executive and said he believed Huang's explanation.
Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the relationship. The company previously said it had no reason to believe confidential corporate information or national security had been compromised.
The FBI's reported involvement adds federal scrutiny to an issue already drawing attention from lawmakers and investors. The allegations concerning Chinese intelligence remain unproven, and no criminal wrongdoing by Huang has been established.
