Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and his wife, Ritu Ahuja, have come under fire for selling NVIDIA stock before the Chinese spy story broke.

NVIDIA hit trouble when news broke that the Trump administration received a memo that then-CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

Huang resigned as CEO on Thursday.

Khanna also sits on the United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, which investigates China’s attempts to steal U.S. technology.

Khanna also serves on the Taiwan Caucus and the High Tech Caucus.

From The New York Post:

The trust benefiting the Bay Area congressman’s wife, Ritu Ahuja, sold between $1,001 and $15,000 in Nvidia shares on Sept. 4 and again Oct. 7, according to disclosures tracked by Capitol Trades.

The second sale came one day after Nvidia hit its all-time high.

Since then, shares have tanked 30% after Huang, 63, admitted to an extramarital affair with suspected Chinese honeypot Alice Huang. He resigned in disgrace Thursday after reports surfaced of a second affair with Nvidia exec Kimberly Powell, his direct report.

The family also sold other shares in October from Walmart, Adobe, and Boston Scientific.

Khanna also sold shares in May, around the time when the memo circulated among officials.

A Khanna spokesperson claimed, “that the transactions had nothing to do with insider knowledge.” The spokesperson added more:

“Neither Rep. Khanna nor anyone on his staff received any briefing on Megaspeed, Jensen, or any counterintelligence risks tied to Nvidia,” the spokesperson wrote in a text message.

“He had zero knowledge of this incident until the New York Times report. Khanna does not trade stocks and provided zero direction or input into any trades.”

The official added, “Khanna believes there needs to be an investigation into what the administration knew about Jensen and any of Jensen’s ties to China that could have compromised national security.”

Well, Khanna will get his wish. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee.

I found a video of Khanna and Huang at the Graduate School of Stanford Business six months ago: “What is necessary for the U.S. to maintain its leadership in AI? How do we empower the workforce for the AI era? NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang and U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17) met at Stanford for a conversation with H.R. McMaster on the future of technology and domestic policy.”
