Sacks: Nvidia ‘Spy Narrative’ Is Collapsing

David Sacks, a technology investor and former AI and crypto adviser to US President Donald Trump, said the “spy narrative is collapsing” around Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and demanded an investigation into a classified-memo leak, in a November 13 post on X responding to reporting that US officials remain divided over the evidence concerning Alice Huang.

Sacks now co-chairs the science and technology advisory council to the US president, a role he took after leaving his White House AI and crypto post in March, according to The Block. He challenged whether there was persuasive evidence that Alice Huang knowingly acted for Beijing, Benzinga reported on November 13.

What the underlying reporting says

CNN’s November 12 report described differences within the intelligence community over whether the information collected proves Alice Huang was recruited to spy. It also reported continuing FBI scrutiny and communications that had raised concern. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department had reached no conclusion about whether she was a spy.

The assessments attributed to CIA and intelligence-directorate officials came through CNN’s sources; they were not public agency announcements clearing her. The distinction matters: unresolved evidence supports scrutiny of the allegations, while the investigation remains open.

A demand to investigate the leak

In his post, Sacks argued that leaking the classified memo was the only established crime and asked who was responsible and why. That is his characterization; the post does not identify a leaker or establish a finding by prosecutors. It calls for a new inquiry rather than announcing one.

The comments follow Nvidia’s November 12 announcement that Huang had resigned as chief executive, president and director, with Colette Kress appointed interim CEO. Sacks’s criticism does not resolve the outstanding security and governance questions surrounding the company.
