House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is considering holding Mark Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress, the latest move by the House GOP to crack down on Big Tech.
Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has repeatedly failed to produce internal documents requested by the committee regarding the company's censorship efforts over recent months. Jordan may move to hold the Facebook mogul in contempt as early as next week due to a lack of cooperation, one source familiar with the situation confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
"Meta’s rolling productions to date have not included material the Committee knows is, or has reason to believe may be, in the company’s possession and that is responsive to the subpoena … If Meta fails to comply in full with the subpoena’s demands, the Committee may be forced to consider the use of one or more enforcement mechanisms," Jordan wrote in the May letter.
"We have shared over 50,000 pages of documents in response to the committee’s request and have made nearly a dozen current and former employees available to discuss external and internal issues. We look forward to continuing to work with the committee moving forward."
