NEW: House lawmakers from multiple committees have requested briefings after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman U.S. officials tie to Chinese intelligence. Alice Huang, no relation, is a former executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia customer. U.S. intelligence officials and The New York Times allege she was recruited to gather information on Nvidia's restricted AI chips. Huang confirmed the relationship in a staff memo. Nvidia's board, working with outside counsel and independent directors, is investigating whether he was the subject of a foreign intelligence operation. He remains CEO during the probe. Megaspeed has faced past scrutiny over U.S. export restrictions and chip movement. Nvidia maintains its interactions with the company were standard business communications. The board has "no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised." Bloomberg
