Rubio warned officials about Nvidia CEO’s entanglement with alleged Chinese spy

newsNov 8, 202627437

The New York Times reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw drafting a classified memo last spring warning top Trump administration officials that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was in a close relationship with a woman linked to Chinese intelligence. The memo drew on classified intelligence including electronic surveillance of the woman identified as Alice Huang, according to the report. Multiple people briefed on the matter told investigators and reporters that officials knew about those concerns even as Mr. Huang remained an influential adviser to President Trump on AI policy. The Times says the president chose not to take action after the briefing and later invited Mr. Huang on a presidential trip to China and praised him publicly. Nvidia has launched an internal investigation into the matter, the reporting adds. The disclosures are likely to prompt congressional and oversight scrutiny of how the administration handled alleged foreign intelligence ties to the head of a major AI company.

“Rubio Warned Officials About Nvidia Chief’s Entanglement With Chinese Spy.” Rubio warned. He was concerned. He said nothing publicly and did nothing privately—but once the election went south for Trump, Team Rubio was perhaps happy to have this “warning” be known. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/08/u...

Rubio's trying to scrub his reputation. Good luck with that.

There are no profiles in courage in this administration. None.

Well...since Trump is in bed with the Russians, I have a feeling that Donnie didn't care as long as he had Nvidia in his pocket

China and Russia heard about the “male loneliness epidemic*” in the US and said “hmmmmm maybe we can leverage this…” *Which is actually just women having standards, economic independence, and collectively realizing we actually don’t have to put up with patriarchal bullshit.

Trump was warned that Huang was under the influence of a Chinese spy by Rubio in April. Trump then gave Huang exactly what the CCP wanted: access to NVIDIA chips. Why? Trump has huge personal and US Govt investments in the company and wanted to increase profits. Hard to imagine a worse scandal.

"The president chose at that point not to take any action...He sees Nvidia’s success as crucial to maintaining a robust stock market." Endangering national security to keep his rich friends rich. Sacrificing the United States for the benefit of the oligarchs. www.nytimes.com/2026/11/08/u...

Jensen Huang is the biggest mark in the whole goddamn world. Even Marco Rubio could see that.

Takeaways from this report: 1. Rubio leaked this. Which means he's definitely exploring a 2028 run. 2. JD is much closer to tech-lords than Rubio is. Knifing Nvidia chief is knifing JD. 3. Info presumably came from CIA. Had CIA Director and/or DNI warned Trump? Did they try, & find him uninterested?
