  "summary": "Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm and major Nvidia customer, stated that suspected spy Alice Huang left the company more than a year ago, according to Punch Nigeria. The firm is linked to a scandal involving Nvidia, where it is alleged that a loophole in U.S. export controls may have allowed China to access sensitive technologies via the company, according to The Indian Express.\n\nFormer Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down from all roles at the company with immediate effect following inquiries from the FBI and Nvidia’s board. The Indian Express reports that Huang admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang, a top executive at Megaspeed, who U.S. intelligence agencies believe was spying for Chinese intelligence.\n\nThe Jerusalem Post reports that members of Congress are planning a potentially bipartisan investigation into the Trump administration's handling of the scandal. The House oversight committee intends to investigate national security matters, including why Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick did not blacklist companies suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips to China. Additionally, the committee plans to look into why President Donald Trump continued to communicate with Jensen Huang after being warned by U.S. intelligence regarding Alice Huang's alleged recruitment by China’s State Security Ministry.",
