Jensen fully supports the investigation and has pledged to cooperate. The scrutiny centers on Alice Huang, a businesswoman the newspaper describes as suspected of acting for China\u0026#39;s Ministry of State Security, and on a memo circulated among senior Trump administration officials indicating the ministry recruited her to obtain information on US AI chips.
