Nvidia's board opens an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang

Nvidia's board announced Sunday an independent investigation, run by a committee of independent directors with outside counsel, after CEO Jensen Huang told employees he had an affair with a business executive whom U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was gathering information for Beijing. The board says it has "no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised" and that it has confidence in Huang, who remains CEO. China called the allegations "groundless speculation." The Republican chairs of three House committees asked Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on November 18.
