Jensen Huang now accused of affair with Nvidia executive who reported to him, alleged cover-up attempt — new indiscretion comes in wake of admitted affair with alleged Chinese spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — already embroiled in a scandal for an extramarital relationship with a woman believed by U.S. intelligence to be spying on behalf of China — reportedly had a separate affair with one of his direct reports, according to the New York Times.

The Times, citing five anonymous sources within Nvidia, says that Huang had a relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of health care. The sources claim that Huang and Powell were "captured on video being affectionate" in March at a hotel in San Jose, Calif., where the company's GTC conference takes place.

That report says that someone at the hotel filmed the moment on their smartphone, but that Huang's security team "sequestered" them and "made the person an offer to sign a nondisclosure agreement."

Powell joined Nvidia in 2008 and has been steadily promoted. The Times highlights that personal relationships are mentioned as potentially causing conflicts of interest in Nvidia's code of conduct.

The Congressional House committee on China has called on Huang for a closed-door session, with Republican lawmakers saying the reports "raise significant national security concerns."
