Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D., Ill.), who lead the House&#8217;s China committee, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/committeeonccp\/status\/1765787873716944938?s=20\">called<\/a> &#8220;an example of an adversary-controlled application lying to the American people and interfering with the legislative process in Congress&#8221; in an X post.
