Board launches independent probe as Republican committees demand answers on foreign espionage.
Nvidia's board announced on Sunday that it is opening an independent investigation after reports that founder and CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.

A New York Times report published in October alleged that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing, a claim also reported by The Guardian.
