Trump says Huang told him he did not know alleged spy’s identity
President Donald Trump said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told him that he had “no idea” the person involved in the relationship was a spy, but Trump did not say when he first learned of the affair or what information he received at the time.
Trump made the comments at a White House press briefing, responding to a question about when he was first informed of an issue involving Huang and what had been presented to him. “I would say that when I heard about it, first of all, I was amazed because I view him as a very high-quality person,” Trump said. “I’ve known him a long time.”
Huang said over the weekend that he had been “unfaithful” to his wife. Nvidia has opened an investigation into Huang, according to the source article.
The New York Times has reported that Trump was briefed roughly a year ago on intelligence indicating Huang had developed a close relationship with Alice Huang, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy. The newspaper reported in October that Trump took no action on the information. In a report published yesterday, it said Secretary of State Marco Rubio helped draft a memo for Trump officials about the relationship before Trump’s visit to China in May.
