The agreement followed a November 4 letter from Mast, House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford requesting that Huang appear before their committees. Huang agreed on Wednesday, according to reports by Bloomberg and NBC News.

Mast said he and Huang have disagreed over export controls, but described Nvidia as “a very important company to the United States of America.” He added: “I don’t want to see anything hurt in Nvidia, but he has some very serious questions to answer.”

Mast expects the closed-door briefing to be recorded on video and transcribed. The source article also links Huang’s departure as CEO to reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China.
