Trump: “Jensen Huang said he didn’t know he was a spy… The FBI is looking into it.”

U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 9th (local time) that he had a phone call with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted to the suspicion of an affair, and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was looking into the case.

While answering questions with reporters in the White House briefing room on this day, President Trump was asked when he was briefed on the CEO Hwang issue and said, "I was more surprised than anything when I heard about him because I think he is a very great person."

"I hope there's no problem. It's not old and we'll look into it," Trump said.

President Trump said he spoke to CEO Hwang on the phone that day and added, "I spoke to him to see if he was okay. He said he had no idea the person in question was a spy," adding, "He is suffering greatly."

When asked again when he was first briefed on CEO Hwang's issue, President Trump gave a vague answer, saying that there may have been mention of it in the intelligence agency's report, and tried not to attach any significance to it, saying, "It didn't have much of an impact on me."

CEO Hwang admitted to suspicions of an affair with Alice Hwang, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy. In an article raising suspicions of an affair, the New York Times also raised suspicions that President Trump tolerated the affair without taking action even after receiving a report about a year ago.
