  "account": "Key U.S. lawmakers have called for answers from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and others at the company regarding alleged breaches of U.S. national security, following the artificial intelligence chip giant's announcement of his resignation amid a controversy involving an extramarital affair. The affair involved a woman suspected of spying for China, and Huang had advocated for weaker regulations on the sale of U.S. chips to Beijing, a move that has reinvigorated calls for a tougher stance against the country. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer expressed concern over the situation on social media, stating that Congress must demand explanations from Huang and Nvidia officials, even as President Trump prepares to travel to China.",
  "summary": "U.S. President Donald Trump was informed of the suspicions surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang last year, according to The New York Times.",
