Jensen Huang, who is NVIDIA's former CEO, has agreed to testify before the US Congress sometime before Thanksgiving.
Lawmakers want to hear directly from him in a closed-door session about some recent concerns, though the exact date is still being worked out.
Congress asks Huang about China contact
Huang's testimony follows a letter from several members of Congress asking him about his reported interactions with a suspected Chinese operative. They are investigating whether any information was shared and whether China tried to sway US policy.
This comes as debates heat up over US chip exports to China, a topic Huang has publicly pushed back on.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA's interim CEO and CFO Colette Kress is reassuring employees and planning a companywide meeting soon.
