Nvidia, CEO Jensen Huang facing shareholder suit over affair with alleged Chinese spy
Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang are now facing a shareholder lawsuit over Huang's affair with an accused Chinese spy. CBS News contributor Patrick McGee has more.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman named Alice Huang, who authorities suspect of being a Chinese spy. President Trump has spoken about the matter, expressing that he asked Huang if he knew Alice was a spy - Huang reportedly said he didn't know. Trump reportedly said he believes Huang to be an "honourable guy" and that Huang probably has an excuse for the affair.
