Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence of spying for Beijing. 

He apologized to his family and pledged full cooperation in an independent board investigation amid national security concerns. 

Alice Huang's ties to a Singapore-based firm under scrutiny for aiding China's access to restricted AI chips have intensified US government and congressional interest. 

Despite allegations, Nvidia and political leaders express support while the probe raises risks for the company and its $4.5 trillion valuation.
