Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces congressional subpoena threat over China spy allegations

A trio of House Republicans are unlikely to allow Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to send his company’s general counsel to answer questions on his behalf about his alleged relationship with aChinese spy, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast and two other top Republican lawmakers on November 4 asked Huang to provide a closed-door briefing about a New York Times report alleging he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing.
