Nvidia’s board says it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised but will investigate. Huang acknowledged the relationship in an email to employees and apologized for being unfaithful to his wife.

China has denied the espionage allegations, calling them baseless. Meanwhile, three Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from Huang about the alleged relationship and Nvidia’s security measures against foreign espionage.
