Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress in a closed-door briefing amid investigations into the company's security practices and alleged links to Chinese intelligence operations.

House committee chairs Brian Mast, John Moolenaar and Rick Crawford requested his appearance in a November 4 letter seeking information about Nvidia's security protocols and interactions with an alleged Chinese intelligence asset.

The inquiries also focus on Nvidia's relationship with Singapore-based Megaspeed, which is suspected of involvement in smuggling export-restricted chips to China. The Department of Justice is overseeing the criminal investigation.

Lawmakers are negotiating a date for Huang's testimony, which will be recorded and transcribed. He is expected to appear by Thanksgiving, with committee chairs retaining the authority to issue a subpoena if he fails to attend voluntarily.
