TuSimple Denies Media Report of U.S. Spying Probe

Autonomous trucking startup TuSimple Holdings Inc. denied a media report that its founders and its CEO are the subjects of a U.S. espionage investigation, saying the company has been communicating regularly with the powerful government Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

The Justice Department was urged by representatives of a U.S. national security panel to consider economic-espionage charges against leaders of TuSimple, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
