NYT reports alleged affair between Nvidia CEO and executive

Powell, like Huang, is married, the Times reported. Nvidia’s rules discourage relationships between managers and employees who report to them, according to the newspaper. TechCrunch said it contacted Nvidia for comment.

The report comes as Nvidia’s board investigates an affair Huang has publicly acknowledged with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy. Two House Republicans said Wednesday that Congress is preparing to subpoena Huang over the spy allegations if he does not voluntarily respond to their summons for a closed-door briefing.

Late Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board was preparing to oust Huang, who co-founded the company in 1993.
