Senior US intelligence officials briefed the congressional “Gang of Eight” about national-security concerns involving Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, the Los Angeles Times reports. The briefing follows Huang’s admission of an affair with a woman US authorities have identified as a Chinese intelligence asset, an allegation that remains unresolved.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the briefing took place on Monday. Republican committee chairs have also asked Huang to brief them on 18 November, the paper reports. Nvidia’s board says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, but is investigating. The distinction matters: lawmakers are seeking answers, not announcing a finding.
