SUMMARY

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have been summoned to testify before the Senate Banking Committee next month over Huang’s affair with a suspected Chinese spy.

U.S. officials concluded the woman, Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, had been recruited by China’s main intelligence agency.

Sen. Tim Scott asked Jensen Huang to appear voluntarily Dec. 3, warning of a possible subpoena. Huang resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive Thursday. Leaders of both parties back hearing from him.

Lutnick’s department was required to review national security risks before the administration let Nvidia sell advanced chips to China last year.
