In the same 8 November 2026 message to staff, Huang wrote: "I support the investigation and will cooperate fully."

We added what Huang and Nvidia's board said on 8 November, and the reason The New York Times reported for his exit: he was replaced after reports of an affair with a woman U.S. officials suspect of spying for China and another with an executive who reports to him. We also added that the Attorney General says the Justice Department has not determined whether the woman is a spy, and that China denies the claims.
Why we corrected it: The story rested only on Nvidia's filing and press release, which give no reason. The reason was already widely reported when we published, and without it the story was incomplete.
What it said before:
Colette Kress, 59, stays chief financial officer while she serves as interim CEO, and the board will consider internal and external candidates for the permanent role. The filing and the press release give no reason for the resignation; Nvidia says it will report third-quarter fiscal 2027 results on Tuesday 17 November as previously scheduled. Neither the filing nor the press release gives a reason for the resignation. Jones is quoted saying the board expects operations, customer commitments and the product roadmap to continue without interruption. Nvidia still plans to report third-quarter fiscal 2027 results on Tuesday 17 November as previously scheduled.
The fact above is as the story now says it. All corrections
The exact words it rests on
Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA’s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully.
