Now-resigned Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress, according to multiple outlets. House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast says Huang’s team confirmed the former executive will appear after threats of a subpoena were raised. Engadget and the other reports specify the testimony is expected before Thanksgiving, with the exact format described by The Hill as a closed-door briefing.
The hearings are framed around U.S. national security concerns connected to an alleged Chinese espionage case, including issues Congress wants to understand involving Huang. Coverage also notes that Republican lawmakers are pressing for answers, while Bloomberg adds that members of Congress across party lines have pledged to investigate potential chip smuggling to China. While outlets agree on the basic event—Huang’s planned testimony and the general national security context—details on the emphasis and scope vary by outlet.
