US Senator Scott has publicly demanded that Jensen Huang, the former chief executive of the technology company Nvidia, and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testify before the Senate Banking Committee. He made the demand in a post on the platform X. Huang resigned on Thursday amid a scandal over his relationship with a woman who, according to US officials, works for Chinese intelligence services.
National security concerns
Scott said the recent reports raise concerns about US national security and the protection of sensitive American technology. For that reason, he argued, both officials should provide explanations before the Senate committee.
Leadership change at the company
Nvidia's statement about Huang's resignation did not give a reason for his departure. The company's chief financial officer, Colette Kress, has been named acting chief executive. She will lead Nvidia until a new chief executive is found.
Huang is 63 years old and is a co-founder of Nvidia. He led the company for 33 years.
