  "account": "Republicans on Capitol Hill are currently in negotiations to have Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appear before Congress to address a scandal surrounding the company. Huang resigned on Thursday following the revelation that his affair with a former executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company, could be linked to espionage by Chinese intelligence assets. House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar and other committee chairs have expressed their interest in Huang's testimony, stating they will use subpoena power if necessary. The lawmakers had previously asked Huang for a closed-door briefing on Nvidia's security protocols and his interactions with the suspected Chinese spy on November 4, giving him until Wednesday to respond. While Huang has indicated his willingness to appear, the timeline for his testimony remains uncertain. The scandal has raised concerns about Nvidia's relationship with Megaspeed and the potential risks to U.S. national security. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other Republican lawmakers have also expressed support for Huang's appearance before Congress to provide clarity on the situation.",
