President Trump said that the FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted to having an affair with a woman suspected to be a Chinese spy.
The commander-in-chief said he spoke with Huang on Monday to check in on the AI tycoon, who told him he had no idea that his mistress Alice Huang â no relation â was a Beijing honeypot.
âI know the FBI is looking into it,â Trump said.

âI think that heâll be in good shape,â he added, and expressed confidence that nothing criminal would be found.
Jensen Huang, 63, is also facing calls to appear before Congress and explain himself. The chairs of the House committees on China, foreign affairs and intelligence wrote to Huang and requested that the CEO appear in a joint, closed-door briefing on Nov. 18.
âRecent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRCâs [Peopleâs Republic of China] access to sensitive U.S. technology and information,â Reps. Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; John Moolenaar, head of the panel on the Chinese Communist Party; and Intel chair Rick Crawford wrote.
They added that it is âvital that Congress determines the extent to which U.S. national security has been placed at riskâ and that Huang âsecurity protocols against foreign adversary espionage and your interactions with ⦠Alice Huang.â
In addition, Nvidia is conducting an internal probe after its leader told employees that he had cheated on his wife of more than 40 years with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based company facing allegations it illicitly shipped advanced Nvidia computer chips into China.

A secret memo from the US State Department concluded months ago that Alice Huang was spying for China based on video surveillance â however, Beijing has denied she was working on its behalf.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Monday that âthe so-called Chinese spy allegation is unsubstantiated. It is nothing but a smear against China.â
Trump has repeatedly defended the CEO and his closest Silicon Valley ally, saying Monday he was âamazedâ by Jensen Huangâs affair admission because he sees him âas a very high quality person.â
However, the New York Times reported that Trump had been briefed on the AI tycoonâs relationship with the honeypot, and was warned that she was providing information to the Chinese government, but chose not to act.
Trump declined to say Monday when he learned Jensen Huang was having an affair with the suspected Beijing operative â but he did say he didnât know about it when the exec accompanied him to China in May with other tech CEOs.
âNo, I didnât hear about it then,â the president said.
Jensen Huangâs close ties to Trump have coincided with âseveral favorable policy developments for Nvidia, considered the worldâs most valuable chipmaker.
Jensen Huang has been lobbying the US government to allow his company to sell advanced Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) in China.
He donated $25 million toward the cost of building Trumpâs massive ballroom and two men âhave become good friends,â a source close to them told The Post.
Another source said Jensen Huang would brag about his close relationship with the president, 80. âAnd Jensen has repeatedly lied about his relationship with Ms. Huang,â the person noted.
The leather-jacketed CEO was appointed to the Presidentâs Council of Advisors on Science and Technology by Trump earlier this year and awarded him the nationâs highest honor for scientific achievement in October.
Jensen Huang also made appearances at Mar-a-Lago and other high-profile events with Trump and world leaders.
