DOJ Says No Conclusions on Alice Huang as Rubio Memo Flagged Jensen Huang Affair

Summary
Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department and FBI have reached no conclusion on whether Megaspeed executive Alice Huang was acting for Chinese intelligence.
Spring intercepts had linked Alice Huang to an affair with then-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, prompting officials to unmask his identity and Marco Rubio to circulate a tightly held memo to senior US officials.
Rubio also briefed Donald Trump, who treated the matter partly as a personal scandal but also worried about economic fallout tied to Nvidia's central role in the AI boom.
Megaspeed has been under Justice and Commerce Department investigation since 2024 over suspected diversion of restricted Nvidia chips to China, making Alice Huang a broader counterintelligence concern even without proof she was a spy.
