Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress after a former Facebook employee alleged the company repeatedly undermined U.S. national security.
“The American people deserve to know the truth about your company,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Zuckerberg on Thursday, adding, “The public deserves to hear your response to these serious allegations, particularly since they pertain to American national security.”
Hawley requested Zuckerberg testify before the Senate Judiciary Crime and Counterterrorism Subcommittee in an upcoming hearing titled “A Time for Truth, Part II: Oversight of Meta’s Foreign Relations and Representations to the United States.”
The letter came one day after the same subcommittee heard from Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former director of global public policy at Facebook, who told lawmakers Meta executives repeatedly “betray[ed] American values” during her seven years at the company.
Wynn-Williams accused Meta executives of working to “win favor” with leaders in Beijing to build an $18 billion business in China.
