Three House Republican committee leaders asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to sit for a closed-door briefing on his relationship with a tech executive reportedly identified as a Chinese intelligence asset.
"Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC's access to sensitive U.S. technology and information," the GOP lawmakers wrote in a letter to Huang unveiled Thursday, using the acronym for the People's Republic of China.
They are seeking information on Huang's interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, as well as Nvidia's "security protocols against foreign adversary espionage," they wrote in the brief message, which is dated Wednesday.
The letter does not specify which reports it is referring to. But The New York Times reported last week that U.S. intelligence found Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen determined to be funneling information to Beijing, had "developed a close relationship" with Jensen Huang.
President Donald Trump, who himself has forged close ties with Jensen Huang as he champions the U.S. artificial intelligence industry, was briefed about a year ago on those intelligence findings, the Times reported.
