Nvidia plans to continue investigating whether Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort after his resignation as chief executive on Thursday, The Information reported, citing a person familiar with the situation. The board opened the inquiry on 8 November and hired former federal prosecutor Joon Kim to lead it. Huang has agreed to testify following demands from three Republican committee chairs, Politico reported. Senate Banking Committee chair Tim Scott is also seeking appearances by Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Thursday that the Justice Department had not concluded whether Alice Huang was a spy. Nvidia had not issued the expected statement confirming that its inquiry would continue.
