Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed on Wednesday the CEOs of several big tech companies, seeking to uncover documents that, they say, have information on the "Foreign Censorship of American Speech." Some of them, however, are owned by some of President Donald Trump's newest allies, who pivoted after the election to operate in a way that is more aligned with the administration's goals.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos were among those who had privileged seats at Trump's inauguration on January 20. Their companies have also been targeted by the subpoena. X, owned by top Trump ally and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk also received a letter.
