Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's stunning resignation from the tech company he co-founded in 1993 comes amid investigations by federal authorities and his own board of directors into allegations that he had multiple extramarital affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy.

Huang, 63, had become a trusted ally of President Donald Trump and an adviser to the president on AI technology, visiting the White House for events more than a half-dozen times between January 2025 and October 2026.

This year, he has traveled with Trump on a state visit to China and joined the president during a state visit to Great Britain.
