President Donald Trump said that he had spoken to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang earlier in the day Monday, after Nvidia revealed late Sunday that it had launched an investigation into his extramarital affair with an alleged Chinese spy.Trump called Huang on Monday to “to see if he’s feeling all right,” the president said at an impromptu press briefing.Huang told him “he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy,” Trump said.“He said I had no idea that she was a spy, and I really, and I really believe him,” said Trump.The president also said that the FBI was probing the events in question.On Sunday, the Nvidia board announced it was “initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.”At the same time, Huang announced that he had been “unfaithful to my wife,” while also apologizing to Nvidia employees. “I was amazed because I view him as a very high quality person,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “He’s an amazing guy,” he continued, adding, “I hope there’s no problem.”Trump indicated for the second time in as many days that he wanted Huang to remain the leader of the second largest public company in the world. “I think that he’ll be in good shape,” Trump said.On Sunday, people familiar with the matter told NBC News that Alice Huang, the woman who Jensen Huang allegedly had the affair with, was determined to be a Chinese spy. Nvidia spokespeople did not immediately return a request for comment following Trump’s remarks. Nvidia previously said Huang would remain CEO, despite the revelations.
