Three Republican House committee chairs asked NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to attend a joint, closed-door briefing about his interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang and NVIDIA’s security protocols. Their letter requests an appearance on November 18, 2026, in room 2172 of the Rayburn House Office Building, with an alternative date allowed on a session day of the 119th Congress.
What the committee chairs want to discuss
Brian J. Mast, John Moolenaar and Rick Crawford, who chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Select Committee on China and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, signed the request. It seeks information about Jensen Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang and NVIDIA’s safeguards against foreign-adversary espionage. The letter describes Alice Huang as a “publicly reported” PRC intelligence asset, the stated context for the request. The House committee’s letter was dated November 4 and published November 5, 2026.
The requested date and scheduling terms
The letter asks Huang to accept November 18 or offer an alternative by November 11. Any alternative date must fall on a session day of the 119th Congress.
The letter names November 11 for a response and November 18 for the requested appearance.
