Huang scandal: US says it has not confirmed suspicions of espionage

The U.S. Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have not concluded that a woman associated with former Nvidia executive Jensen Huang may have worked for Chinese intelligence. This was stated by US Attorney General Todd Blanche at a press conference in Washington.

Media officials asked the minister when U.S. law enforcement received information about the woman's alleged cooperation with Chinese intelligence.

Blanche rejected the question itself. According to him, the claim that the authorities have established the involvement of the woman in espionage does not correspond to the information known to him. He stressed that neither the Justice Department, nor he personally, nor FBI Director Cash Patel have determined who the woman is or whether she is involved in intelligence activities.

At the same time, the attorney general confirmed that the department continues to investigate the circumstances of this story.

Earlier it was reported that on November 8, the board of directors of Nvidia began a probe against Jensen Huang. The reason was the information about his romantic relationship with a woman, who was allegedly suspected of spying for the PRC.

On Thursday, Huang resigned as CEO and president of the company and resigned from its board of directors.

The Ministry of foreign Affairs of China previously called libel statements about the alleged work of the woman for Chinese intelligence.
