Jensen Huang, who was ousted as CEO of NVIDIA, is set to testify before Congress. House Foreign Affairs Chair Brian Mast said a hearing with Huang will take place before Thanksgiving, placing the appearance this month.
Huang agreed to testify on a Wednesday after several senior lawmakers threatened to subpoena him, according to reports. Accounts differ on the timing: one report describes the appearance as scheduled for this month, another as set for Wednesday.
Huang's removal as CEO followed reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China. The reports do not give further detail on the allegations or on what lawmakers intend to ask.
The hearing falls under the House Foreign Affairs Committee, chaired by Mast. No date beyond the pre-Thanksgiving window was specified, and no other witnesses were named.
