President Trump said Monday that the FBI is looking into Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, while praising him as “an amazing guy,” Just The News reported.
Huang has admitted to an affair with a woman whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of being a Chinese spy. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said Huang assured him he had no knowledge that she was allegedly a spy.
Trump also suggested the FBI’s interest concerned a separate matter, which he did not describe, and said he expected Huang to come through in good shape.
He called Huang a high-quality and honorable man and said he had phoned him earlier that day to check on him.
On Sunday, Nvidia’s board announced that an independent committee, working with outside legal counsel, will investigate reports that Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and Huang has pledged to cooperate.
Trump said he does not plan to raise the matter when he meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next week, though he said he expects Xi will ask him about it.
