Congress Prepares Nvidia CEO Subpoena Over Spy Affair, Giving Him Until End of Day

Summary
House Republicans said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could be subpoenaed if he does not agree by the end of Wednesday to a joint closed-door briefing.
Brian Mast and John Moolenaar said their committees want to question Huang about his relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive they describe as a suspected Chinese spy.
Moolenaar told Fox Business that Huang faces an end-of-day deadline, while Mast said the House Foreign Affairs Committee is already preparing a subpoena to send if he refuses.
The escalation follows a letter sent a week ago by Mast, Moolenaar and Rick Crawford requesting Huang appear before their committees; Nvidia did not immediately comment.
