Cambridge Analytica whistleblower agrees to testify before House Intel Committee

Democrats on Tuesday scored their first victory since Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced last week they had concluded the interview phase of their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie – who informed multiple explosive reports over the weekend about how the London-based data firm, which was hired by the Trump campaign, misused Facebook data during the 2016 election – agreed to Democrats' requests that he testify before and provide documents to the committee.

Exactly !

The CA scandal is taking huge proportion in Europe. The data protection are not taken lightly. Our laws are very strict and will reinforced very soon (on 25 may). EU parliament and British parliament summoned Zuckerberg, asking him explanations. Investigations are also conducted.

I believe that was the amount of time CAmbridge Analytica said it would take the committee to ask questions.....2 hrs by the dems and 5 mins for the lying rethugs.
