Huang resigned Thursday, ending his leadership of the chipmaker he co-founded and leaving Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO. Nvidia’s board has opened an independent investigation into reports that Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, while saying it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised.
Scott warned that Huang could face a subpoena if he declined to appear voluntarily. The scrutiny extends to the Commerce Department’s enforcement of chip export controls, putting Washington’s oversight of sensitive technology sales to China at the center of the congressional inquiry.
