The effort to remove Jensen Huang from his role as head of Nvidia has intensified following reports that the chief executive had a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of espionage. Senator Kevin Cramer, a Republican who serves on the Senate Banking Committee, said the demand for Huang’s departure is based on these revelations, which he claims create a distinct threat to the security of the United States.
The public pressure from the Senate coincides with an escalating inquiry in the House. The Republican chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee stated that he will issue a subpoena to Huang if the CEO does not respond to a request for a closed-door briefing by Wednesday.
