The appointment was made after it emerged Jensen Huang had an affair with a woman believed to be a spy for China.

* Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, who is alleged to be a Chinese spy.
* Nvidia has hired law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate the affair and determine if company secrets or national security were compromised.
* The FBI is also conducting its own probe into the matter.
* Nvidia's share price has fallen nearly to a yearly low, with $500bn wiped off its stock market value since Friday.
