House Republicans Threaten Subpoena for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Over Alleged Spy Ties by Wednesday

Summary
Brian Mast said he is prepared to subpoena Jensen Huang if the Nvidia CEO does not answer by Wednesday a request for a closed-door congressional briefing on his reported relationship with alleged Chinese agent Alice Huang.
Three GOP committee chairs — Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and the China panel — want Huang questioned on Nvidia's anti-espionage safeguards, his contacts with the Chinese government and any national security risks tied to the affair allegations.
Nvidia said its board has found no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and said Huang supports the internal review the company announced Sunday.
Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats also want a full briefing, while Donald Trump said Monday the FBI is investigating and Huang told him he did not know the woman was allegedly a spy.
Any House subpoena could be short-lived because Republicans lose committee control in January, meaning Democrats would likely have to reissue it if the matter continues.
