Facebook could soon have another headache on Capitol Hill: Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have requested documents from the company spanning multiple issues, two sources familiar with the committee's efforts tell CNN
The requests cover a number of different issues related to the company and are building toward several separate possible inquiries, one of the sources said.Facebook has come under increased scrutiny since the 2016 election, with lawmakers and investigators raising questions about disinformation on the platform and its use by foreign entities targeting American voters, as well as Facebook's handling of user privacy.
Facebook has implemented new requirements for political advertisers since 2016, when the Russian government-linked troll group spent thousands of dollars targeting Americans with divisive Facebook ads in the lead-up to the election. The committee has also asked Facebook for the IP addresses used to place the Russian ads, two people familiar with the committee's request confirmed.
