Top GOP House lawmakers want Nvidia’s Jensen Huang to come to Congress

House Select Committee on China Chair John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast (R-Fl.) and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chair Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) sent a letter to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following reports he sent intelligence to China.

The GOP lawmakers requested Huang appear in a joint, closed-door briefing on Nov. 18 to address concerns regarding “NVIDIA’s security protocols against foreign adversary espionage and your interactions with…Megaspeed executive Alice Huang.”

The New York Times published a report in October alleging American spy agencies last year discovered Alice Huang, an executive at the Singapore-based data center Megaspeed, funneled information to Beijing while developing a “close relationship” with Trump-ally Jensen Huang.

Nvidia previously told The Hill that Megaspeed was a regional customer and the claims were debunked last year.

President Trump was briefed on the matter but was reportedly hesitant to interfere with Nvidia’s chip sales and the U.S.’s trading relationship with China, per The Times.

“Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC’s access to sensitive U.S. technology and information,” the lawmakers wrote in a statement, adding that it is “vital that Congress determines the extent to which U.S. national security has been placed at risk.”

The Nvidia chief has until Nov. 11 to provide alternative availability if he cannot attend the mid-Nov. hearing.

Huang has navigated a trade war between the U.S. and China over the past year and a half that saw restrictions on the most advanced tech infrastructure sales to Beijing. Though exceptions were made for Nvidia, particularly, to sell older AI chips to China in 2025.

An Nvidia spokesperson told The Hill, that “meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job; Jensen [Huang] talks with thousands of customer executives every year.”

“Our regional cloud customers receive ordinary business information—not sensitive NVIDIA trade secrets—and zero information relevant to national security.”

“We’re confident that if the U.S. government believes that any person is a threat to American industry, it would let us know,” the spokesperson expressed, adding that the regional cloud customers “receive ordinary business information” that is “not sensitive Nvidia trade secrets.”

In another statement from Oct. 29, an Nvidia spokesperson asserted that Jensen Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang were “not unusual or unexpected.”
