Nvidia's board is examining whether its chief executive was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. Jensen Huang has also publicly admitted an extramarital affair, but the admission is not a finding that he disclosed secrets.

That distinction sits at the center of CNN's new report, which drew about 282,000 views in its first five hours. Correspondent Will Ripley presents Huang's apology alongside the company's announcement of an inquiry.

Reading the board's statement, Ripley says: "While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board's inquiry will examine all available information."

Nvidia develops the graphics processors used in artificial intelligence computing, giving the questions surrounding its leadership significance beyond one executive's conduct. In an interview with Pamela Brown, technology journalist Jacob Ward examines the difficulty facing a board overseeing a company so closely identified with its chief executive. "It's unprecedented. I have no idea what the board's supposed to do here," he says.

The broadcast also includes Donald Trump's response: "I just know he's a fine person. But you never know what is going on."

Sen. Chris Coons raises questions about possible national security and export-policy implications, rather than presenting a conclusion about a breach. In the closing segment, CNN technology reporter Clare Duffy reports on falling Nvidia shares and investor concerns about leadership succession.
