Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, is under scrutiny after revelations of an affair with a Chinese businesswoman, Alice Huang, who is suspected of spying. Nvidia produces crucial AI chips that both China and the U.S. covet, and the affair has sparked concerns about national security. The Department of Justice is probing whether a company tied to Alice Huang, Megaspeed, illegally funneled chips to China. Nvidia's board says there's “no reason to believe” secrets were compromised. President Donald Trump, a supporter of Jensen Huang, has downplayed the issue. And China has denied the allegations that Alice Huang was a spy.
The White House is warning Democrats against what it calls “blatant criminality” as they prepare to investigate the administration of President Donald Trump. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the oversight committee, responded by saying it appears Trump “has something to hide.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth survived an impeachment resolution. More than a dozen House and Senate races remain too early to call. And Sen. Bernie Sanders said he won't support Sen. Chuck Schumer as majority leader. He wants a new generation of leadership and a vigorous debate about the Democratic Party's party’s direction.
