WASHINGTON — Top Republican lawmakers are demanding Jensen Huang appear before Congress to answer questions about his relationship with a Chinese honeypot and are pushing the administration to withdraw its approval of Nvidia chip sales to China.

The lawmakers are worried that US national security was compromised after it was revealed Huang, the CEO of Nvidia and one of the world’s wealthiest men, had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

The powerful chairmen of three House committees wrote to Huang to demand he appear before them on Nov. 18 in a closed-door meeting.

“Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC’s [People’s Republic of China] access to sensitive U.S. technology and information,” Reps. Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; John Moolenaar, head of the panel on the Chinese Communist Party; and Intel chair Rick Crawford wrote.

They added that it is “vital that Congress determines the extent to which U.S. national security has been placed at risk” and that Huang “security protocols against foreign adversary espionage and your interactions with … Alice Huang.”

Other lawmakers want President Trump’s administration to stop the sale of Nvidia’s advanced H200 artificial intelligence processors to approved Chinese companies.

“The U.S. should immediately pause the shipment of advanced AI chips to China until we can get to the bottom of this incident and ensure our national security is not being undermined,” Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, wrote on social media.

Nvidia declined to comment when contacted by The Post.

The House Foreign Affairs panel is advancing legislation that would allow Congress 30 days to review and block sales of advanced chips to adversarial countries, which is similar to the power Congress has with arms and weapons sales. 

It would also cancel all existing export licenses to countries like China until the government submits a detailed strategy about how the chips would impact military and intelligence.

The Trump administration approved limited sale of the chips in December 2025, merely a few months after suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang couldn’t take her eyes off the Nvidia boss at a restaurant in Taipei in May 2025. The two Huangs are not related.

In a moment caught on camera, the honeypot, clad in a pink dress, flashed a smile as she gently touched Jensen on the arm.

Alice, a former executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based tech company that purchased billions in AI chips from Nvidia, was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing’s spy agency, according to a secret memo from the US State Department.

Megaspeed is being investigated over accusations that it helped smuggle advanced Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) into China to circumvent US export restrictions on cutting-edge technology. 

The U.S. government collects a 25% cut of all the sales of Nvidia chips to Chinese companies in a deal made by Jensen with the Trump administration. The Commerce Department approved roughly two dozen Chinese firms to handle or purchase the processors.

The Nvidia CEO personally lobbied Trump to sign off on the sales. 

Huang is close to Trump, who defended him against any allegations he endangered US national security. The president called the CEO an “honorable guy” and “fine person.”

“I think he’s an honorable guy. I think he probably has an excuse for it. You have to hear it,” Trump told reporters Sunday night.

“He’s done an amazing job for our country.”

Jensen admitted to cheating on his wife of forty-something years, Lori Huang. Nvidia is conducting an internal investigation.
