The House Judiciary Committee is considering a vote to hold Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in contempt this week, ratcheting up Congress’ feud with Big Tech over its reluctance to work with lawmakers.
Committee Chairman Jim Jordan previously gave Mr. Zuckerberg a July 31 deadline to produce internal company documents, but his patience apparently is running thin.
Time is running out for Congress to take action ahead of its August hiatus. Congress is set to adjourn next week for its monthlong recess. Mr. Jordan is an ally of Twitter owner Elon Musk, who is overhauling his social media platform amid competition from the Threads app that uses Instagram’s infrastructure. Mr. Jordan is investigating the Federal Trade Commission for abuse of power in probing Twitter since Mr. Musk’s takeover.
