Nvidia announced that it has hired the New York‑based law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to lead an internal investigation into an affair involving its chief executive, Jensen Huang.

On Sunday, Huang publicly admitted to having an affair with a woman who, according to reports in The New York Times and the Financial Times, has connections to Chinese intelligence.

The appointment of Wachtell, a firm with a long record of handling high‑profile corporate investigations, signals the company’s intent to conduct a thorough and independent probe.

Details of the investigation’s scope or potential outcomes have not yet been released, and the company has not issued further statements beyond the hiring announcement.

Huang’s admission and the subsequent probe come amid growing scrutiny of executive conduct at major technology firms, though no direct impact on Nvidia’s operations has been reported at this time.
