Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department has not concluded whether Alice Huang was a Chinese spy and that the FBI was investigating reports about her. President Donald Trump also said it had not been determined whether she was a spy.
Blanche said the Justice Department had not reached a conclusion on whether Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman who had an affair with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was a Chinese spy. He said the FBI was investigating reports that she was working for the Chinese government.
Trump said it had not been determined whether Alice Huang was a spy, adding that he spoke with Jensen Huang on Wednesday. Jensen Huang stepped down on Thursday after a departure that unfolded over more than a year, following reports linking him to Alice Huang.
Singapore’s Home Affairs Ministry said Alice Huang left the country in February and was barred from re-entering after an investigation into possible offences; the investigation did not concern espionage. Beijing has denied she is a spy.
