## Summary

Several members of Congress, including Republicans and Democrats, call for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to resign after he admitted an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese spy. Three House committee chairs requested that Huang testify by November 18, and they say they would consider subpoenas if he declines. Lawmakers also cite the affair as a reason to pass export-control bills such as the AI Overwatch Act in the NDAA.
