## Summary

Nvidia says a committee of independent directors, helped by external lawyers, will oversee an investigation into concerns involving CEO Jensen Huang. The board says it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. The probe follows a US government investigation into Megaspeed over suspected smuggling of Nvidia chips into China.
