Three top lawmakers in the House of Representatives from the Republican Party have sent a letter to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asking him to appear before their committees about a news report that has alleged that he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who had passed on information to the country's government.

Last month, The New York Times revealed in a report that Alice Huang, a former executive of Singpore-based company Megaspeed, which buys AI chips from Huang's Nvidia, was being investigated by US authorities for allegedly being a Chinese spy. Megaspeed was investigated by the US over suspicions that it was helping China get access to advanced AI chips which are banned from being exported to the country.

As per a letter dated 4 November, Brian Mast, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, John Moolenaar, who leads the China Select Committee and Intelligence Committee Chair Eric Crawford asked the Nvidia CEO to provide them with a closed-door briefing on 18 November about the report that was published in the NYT as well as on Nvidia's "security protocols against foreign adversary espionage."

"We are writing to request that you appear before our committees for a joint, closed-door briefing on NVIDIA's security protocols against foreign adversary espionage and your interactions with a publicly reported People's Republic of China (PRC) intelligence asset: Megaspeed executive Alice Huang," the three lawmakers said in their letter.

"Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC's access to sensitive U.S. technology and information. The issue of PRC infiltration and access to cutting-edge U.S. technology is core to the investigative work of our three committees this Congress," the latter added, saying that it is vital that the US Congress determines the extent to which US national security were placed at risk.

"We formally request that you appear in room 2172 of the Rayburn House Office Building on November 18, 2026, to brief our committees," it said, while adding that Huang can also ask for an alternate date during a session day of the 119th Congress by November 11, 2026.

Reuters reports that while Nvidia has not officially commented on the letter, they have said that Huang talks with "thousands of customer executives every year," and stressed that cloud customers based out of Asia receive ordinary business information, not sensitive trade secrets of the company or information tied to the US' national security.
