This testimony follows reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, which prompted senior lawmakers to threaten subpoenas. The event occurred in November 2026, and while the testimony will be recorded and transcribed, the impact on Nvidia's stock price and the broader AI industry remains uncertain.
