President Donald Trump was briefed about a year ago about those intelligence findings, The New York Times reported.
Three House Republican committee leaders asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to sit for a closed-door briefing on his relationship with a tech executive reportedly identified as a Chinese intelligence asset.
"Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC's access to sensitive U.S. technology and information," the GOP lawmakers wrote in a letter to Huang unveiled Thursday, using the acronym for the People's Republic of China.
They are seeking information on Huang's interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, as well as Nvidia's "security protocols against foreign adversary espionage," they wrote in the brief message, which is dated Wednesday.
