  "summary": "Nvidia's board of directors has appointed former acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim and the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to lead an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang. The probe follows reports of an alleged intimate relationship between Huang and a Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence officials believe is a spy for Beijing. According to Hindustan Times - World News, President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the FBI was looking into the matter.\n\nThe espionage scandal surrounding Huang may increase the likelihood of Congress enacting chip export limits this year through the National Defense Authorization Act, according to Politico. In an interview with Politico, Republican Senator Kevin Cramer called for Huang to step down, noting that the potential for extortion is too significant to overlook given the sensitivity of Nvidia chips.",
