The most valuable company on earth has been hit by a scandal because its CEO had sex with an alleged Chinese spy. The scandal could undermine President Trump and result in his impeachment by the socialist House and conviction in the new Democratic Senate.
Conservatives must be prepared to offer a replacement.
Under Section 1 of the 25th Amendment, Vice President JD Vance, would immediately become President of the United States. But if he is damaged by the scandal and removed as well, the Speaker of the House would become the Acting President of the United States. And that would be Rep. Hakim Jeffries.
The spy scandal involving Trump’s relationship with Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is beginning to unfold. In my opinion, as a veteran observer of Washington corruption, Trump will either be impeached, with Democrat and Republican votes, or resign under fire. The scandal involves what Trump knew, or was told, about Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
This may sound harsh to those who think Trump can do no wrong. I myself didn’t buy all the assorted allegations of financial corruption against Trump and his family.
But this scandal is different. Trump was apparently briefed on the spy scandal by his own Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, none other than Marco Rubio. The other factor is that the existence of a classified memo on the subject was leaked to the New York Times. It said the memo overseen by Rubio highlighted ties between Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, who worked for a Singapore firm, MegaSpeed, which was scrutinized for routing restricted and highspeed AI chips to China. Huang, a Chinese citizen, is reported to be the Nvidia CEO’s lover, and he has admitted adultery.
Somebody somewhere leaked the memo. Was it Rubio?
The Times said: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio had warned Trump officials that Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, was entangled with a Chinese spy, multiple people briefed on the matter said.”
Who are the “people briefed on the matter?” Are they in the State Department? The Deep State?
It doesn’t matter. The existence of the memo is now a matter of public record. And yet Trump is still defending Jensen Huang!
As we argued in a major report on security problems facing the U.S., private AI companies should mandate legal oaths of allegiance to the U.S. for all of their employees. Although engineers working on classified government AI systems must undergo the standard U.S. security clearance process (Standard Form 86 / SF-86), this only applies to a small group of AI employees.
There is no indication that Jensen Huang had a security clearance. Which means that his real allegiance, to America or China, will have to be investigated.
With the leading AI firm Nvidia under scrutiny and its “key man” Jensen Huang under pressure to resign, the next target will be Trump himself.
Ironically, Trump had warned of Chinese involvement in the anti-data center and anti-AI movements.
“China could not be happier with this anti-data center movement,” he said.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) said congressional investigators tracked money originating from Chinese sources flowing into U.S. non-profits organizing local protests against data centers.
The purpose? So China can achieve computational dominance.
Senator Tom Cotton cited reports that “a network of foreign actors, led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is attempting to manipulate U.S. policy and public opinion on data centers.”
He added that a recent report had uncovered “a multi-year campaign waged across multiple vectors of foreign influence,” including “a network of U.S. nonprofits funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based American expatriate under U.S.-government scrutiny for his ties to the Chinese Communists.”
Cotton said Singham’s network “has been producing content opposing the development of American AI infrastructure, and various investigations have found that the Chinese government is the network’s ultimate paymaster.” Meanwhile, the Chinese government promotes its own AI ambitions at home.
On Capitol Hill, Cotton said, Senator Bernie Sanders hosted a 75-minute panel on “the existential threat of AI” where two of the four panelists were Chinese government affiliates.
Meanwhile, other mainstream conservatives are angry over Trump’s statement to “60 Minutes” that his immigration policies may have hurt Republicans in the midterm election, acknowledging that his approach to deportations, in particular, was “too tough.” The implication was that he was considering amnesty for illegals.
The Remembrance Project, a voice for those killed by illegal aliens, issued a statement strongly opposing a possible amnesty and says “speaking the word amnesty is a betrayal to every citizen and legal residents.” It says the administration has only deported approximately 1.3% of illegal aliens, according to one official.
With groups like the Remembrance Project indicating their deep disappointment with Trump’s direction, Trump’s new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, has a big job containing the damage. Yet, the Jensen Huang scandal is far more explosive and potentially damaging. It is ready-made for the new Congress to impeach Trump AND Vance.
As if to add fuel to the fire, Trump said on Sunday he thinks he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at an APEC leaders’ summit in China next week.
Business commentators are asking what happens to Nvidia if Jensen Huang is forced out. What happens to America if President Trump is deposed?
