President Donald Trump said he spoke to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday, and that Huang denied knowing that the woman he admitted having an extramarital affair with “was a spy” for China.

Trump told reporters at the White House that he was “amazed” by the allegations against Huang, which led Nvidia’s board to initiate an independent investigation.

Trump suggested he had only recently learned of allegations that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy.

“I didn’t hear about it then, but a lot of people have heard about it, and Jensen totally denies that,” Trump said.

“I asked him today because I did speak to him today just to see if he’s feeling all right. ‘How you doing?’” Trump said.

“And I asked him about that, and he had. He said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy,” the president said.
