Nov. 09: Nvidia CEO’s Affair Could Be a National Security Risk; What to Expect from the Lame-Duck Congress
Nvidia says it’s investigating CEO Jensen Huang after he apologized for having an affair with a woman now alleged to be a Chinese spy. The company says internal and national security secrets have been kept close, but the relationship – and Huang’s close ties to the White House – are raising serious concerns. NBC News national security and global affairs reporter Dan De Luce breaks down what this means for U.S. intelligence and the AI race with China. Then, Congress is back on Capitol Hill this week after breaking for the midterms. With less than two months to go before Democrats take power, Republicans still have plenty on their agenda, including passing a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. NBC News chief Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles explains how a scramble to confirm federal judges and a push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could play out. Lastly, gastrointestinal disorders affect millions of Americans, but most people are embarrassed to talk about them. In their new book “The Girl’s Guide to Guts”, NBC News entertainment correspondent Chloe Melas and writer Judy Batalion open up about their decades living with ulcerative colitis and why they’re determined to take the shame out of talking about gut health.
