Before the subject came to the forefront through public statements about Jensen Huang’s future, Trump confirmed that the FBI had opened an investigation related to the case reported in the press. Nvidia had meanwhile announced an independent internal investigation and said it had no indications that trade secrets or national security had been compromised.
Suspicion was linked to Alice Huang (Huang Le), associated with Megaspeed, a cloud company in Singapore. U.S. authorities investigated whether Megaspeed had helped Chinese clients obtain advanced processors subject to export restrictions; Megaspeed denied any wrongdoing. In parallel, the press reported that the FBI had warned lawmakers nearly a year earlier, while intelligence services had electronically surveilled her for at least a year, according to the sources cited.
Beyond the investigations concerning Huang, the case also reached Congress: several Republicans called for Jensen Huang to participate in a closed-door hearing scheduled for November 18, 2026, focused on interactions with Alice Huang and Nvidia’s measures against economic espionage. At the same time, a shareholder class-action lawsuit was filed, alleging that the company had concealed relevant information.
