Attorney General Todd Blanche said neither the Department of Justice (DOJ) nor the FBI has confirmed whether a woman associated with ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was a Chinese spy.
Blanche made the remarks at a press conference on Nov. 12 after a reporter asked when the DOJ learned that Alice Huang - not a relative of the CEO - was a suspected asset of the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
"Well, your first question assumes something that I have never said and that I don't know to be true," Blanche said. "So you assume that DOJ learns that she is in fact a spy. I'm not - nobody said that. I certainly haven't said that."
National security concerns were raised after the tech billionaire allegedly had an affair with the alleged spy, who was a top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company that's one of Nvidia's biggest customers in Southeast Asia.
"Of course DOJ is investigating or looking at it," Blanche said. "So there's no conclusions reached by the Department of Justice, or by me, or by [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel, around who she is or is not."
Chinese intelligence had allegedly recruited her to potentially influence Nvidia to make more advanced AI chips available to Chinese customers. Certain chips are restricted from being exported from the United States.
"The DOJ has a role in investigating if there are chips that shouldn't be sold," Blanche said.
"It could potentially be a violation of our export laws, and that could be civil, regulatory, it could also be criminal, depending on the case, and that investigation is ongoing."
Huang apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and letting his co-workers down in a message to Nvidia employees obtained by The Epoch Times.
