Nvidia announced it has engaged former federal prosecutor Joon H. Kim and the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to lead an independent investigation into claims that its ex‑CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a Chinese intelligence effort and other misconduct. The board said the probe will be “thorough and independent.” Huang stepped down as CEO on Thursday, November 12, 2026, following a New York Times report about an alleged affair with an Nvidia executive.
