Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress. TechCrunch reports the session will be closed-door, video-recorded and transcribed.

Nvidia says Huang has resigned, effective immediately. The company’s November 12 SEC filing names finance chief Colette Kress as interim CEO. CNBC profiled Kress the same day.

Lawmakers asked for his testimony after reports of an alleged relationship with a woman suspected of spying for China. TechCrunch ties the request to those reports.

Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says the date is still being set, per CNBC’s live updates. CNBC reports Huang will testify before Thanksgiving.

TechCrunch quotes Mast: “…has some very serious questions to answer.”

CNBC’s video report describes the agreement to testify as following his resignation. All of these reports are dated November 12.
