Pratik AgrawalNvidia’s board is reportedly preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang, and the Trump administration already knows about it, CBS News reports, as scrutiny over Huang’s personal ties grows.
Washington officials knew before the news broke
The Trump administration already knew that Nvidia’s board planned to push out CEO Jensen Huang. CBS News broke this update, citing people close to the matter. The Wall Street Journal first reported that Nvidia’s board could finalize this move as early as Wednesday, US time.
Sources confirm the White House was in the loop
CBS News quoted sources directly on this point. The report states, “Sources say the Trump administration is aware of this decision.” This detail shows how closely Washington has followed Nvidia’s internal turmoil.
The scandal behind the boardroom shake-up
The New York Times earlier reported that businesswoman Alice Huang maintained a close relationship with Nvidia’s chief executive. The same report claimed she also fed information to Chinese government contacts. Huang later admitted to an extramarital affair. Nvidia announced an independent investigation soon after this admission became public.
