Jensen Huang, the former Nvidia CEO who was pushed out of the company following reports he had an affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, has agreed to testify before Congress under oath.
\n\nBloomberg reports that House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) told reporters that Huang agreed to appear after several senior lawmakers threatened to subpoena him.
\n\nThe testimony is expected to happen before Thanksgiving. Mast said it will take place behind closed doors, though it will be recorded on video and transcribed. Three congressional bodies plan to take part: the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which Mast chairs, the House China panel and the House Intelligence panel.
\n\nMast has clashed publicly with Huang before, particularly over export controls. But he said the stakes go beyond any one policy dispute. “Jensen and I have been very at odds as some of you already know on export controls, but Nvidia is a very important company to the United States of America,” Mast said.
\n\nHe added that he isn’t looking to damage the company itself, even as Huang faces scrutiny. “I don’t want to see anything hurt in Nvidia, but he has some very serious questions to answer,” Mast said.
