Brian Mast Says Jensen Huang Will Testify to Congress by Thanksgiving

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast said Thursday that Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress by Thanksgiving, after lawmakers raised the possibility of compelling his appearance with a subpoena.

Mast, House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford sent Huang a Nov. 4 letter asking him to appear before their panels. The agreement follows Republicans’ preparation of a possible subpoena for Huang.

The chairmen have sought information about Nvidia’s safeguards against foreign intelligence activity. Mast also cited disagreements with Huang over export controls while describing Nvidia as important to the United States.

Mast expects the private session to be recorded on video and transcribed. He said Huang has “some very serious questions to answer.”
