Both outlets have reported that Alice Huang's Singapore-based company had been under surveillance by us intelligence agencies and found that she had been recruited to spy for China.

NBC News has not confirmed either report but has reached out to the Trump Administration for comment.

In a statement, NVIDIA said their board is investigating "in light of recent reporting" that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort.

They added that they have "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the board's inquiry will examine all available information."

In a memo to NVIDIA employees, shared by the company with NBC News, the CEO stated he was "unfaithful" to his wife, and while addressing his colleagues at NVIDIA, saying, "Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life, I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence."
