Trump Says FBI Investigating Nvidia CEO Over Alleged Affair With Chinese Spy.
US President Donald Trump says the FBI is investigating Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang’s relationship with a woman suspected of working as a Chinese spy.
Trump disclosed the investigation on Monday after speaking with Huang, who has admitted being unfaithful to his wife but denied knowing that the woman had alleged links to Chinese intelligence.
“I know the FBI is looking into” the affair, Trump told reporters at the White House, without giving details of the investigation or confirming when it began.
Trump said he had asked Huang whether he knew the woman was a spy during their telephone conversation. “I asked him that question, ‘Did you have any idea she was a spy?’ He said ‘I had no idea she was a spy’ and I really believe him.” He described Huang as an “honourable guy” and said he expected him to be in good shape after the investigations. Trump also said he had contacted the Nvidia chief executive to ask how he was coping with the reports. “I spoke to him just to see if he’s feeling alright, how you doing and I asked him about that and he said he absolutely had no idea that the person in question was a spy.” The FBI declined to comment when contacted.
