  "account": "Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, is facing new allegations of an extramarital affair with a senior executive, Kimberly Powell, according to a report by *The New York Times*. The alleged relationship, which occurred while both were married to other people, was reportedly witnessed by a bystander at a hotel in San Jose, California, during Nvidia's annual developer conference in March. Two former Nvidia employees confirmed the affair, and a recording of the interaction was made and subsequently handed over to Huang's security personnel. Huang, who responded with a refusal to engage directly, ended the call abruptly. Nvidia has declined to comment on the matter, while Powell has not yet responded to requests for comment. The allegations come at a time when Huang is already under scrutiny for a reportedly controversial relationship with a Chinese executive deemed an alleged intelligence asset by United States intelligence officials. Huang has previously acknowledged the affair in a letter to company staff, apologizing to his wife and children for his actions. Three influential Republicans in the US House of Representatives have requested a closed-door briefing from Huang regarding his interactions with the Chinese executive. The incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has played a pivotal role in the company's rise as a leading supplier of artificial intelligence chips.",
