US Commerce Secretary Faces Scrutiny Amid Nvidia CEO’s Resignation Over Scandal

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. Senate Banking Committee demands explanations from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang regarding recent developments at the tech giant and its advanced chip exports to China.

Reuters, citing informed sources, reported that senior White House officials are examining whether Lutnick should be dismissed due to a sex scandal that prompted Huang’s resignation.

Huang stepped down on Thursday from his position as CEO of Nvidia, one of the world’s leading electronic chip manufacturers. This decision came after he admitted to having a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman.

This leadership change follows reports detailing Huang’s personal relationships with two women, including a former executive at Megaspeed Corp. Media outlets have identified this former executive as a suspect in collaborating with Chinese intelligence services.

Nvidia’s board of directors had previously announced an independent investigation into national security concerns raised. The company also stated that it currently had no evidence to suggest that U.S. national security or Nvidia’s confidential information had been compromised.
