AG Todd Blanche Says DOJ Has Not Concluded Alice Huang Was a Chinese Spy, FBI Still Probing

Summary

US Attorney General Todd Blanche said November 12 that the Justice Department has not yet concluded whether former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang was a Chinese spy and 'of course' the FBI is still investigating. The statement notably walks back the intelligence-community conclusion disclosed earlier this week that the MSS recruited Huang to target then-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, injecting ambiguity into the fast-moving scandal that forced Huang's resignation.
