Google CEO Pichai faulted by Senators for declining to testify
Google’s Sundar Pichai is facing bipartisan criticism for refusing to testify at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing next week, but the panel’s chairman signaled he’s unlikely to issue a subpoena to force the chief executive officer to appear.
“I don’t normally subpoena people to be part of the solution,” Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina said when asked if he’s considering such a step. “Google chooses not to participate and being part of the solution. That’s a decision they made.”
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg are said to be planning to testify at the Sept. 5 Senate committee hearing on social media and Russian meddling.
