What happened
Axios reports Treasury Secretary Bessent confronted Commerce Secretary Lutnick in the White House Situation Room over a lack of action against Megaspeed, the company tied to the suspected Chinese spy, and Inside AI Policy says Democrats are demanding action on AI chip export controls.

Why it matters
For policymakers, chip companies and AI developers, the reported dispute points to internal disagreement over how AI chip export controls are enforced. Watch for any official response from Treasury or Commerce and whether Democrats' demands lead to formal action. The researcher's claims about fake accounts have not been independently confirmed.
