The House Judiciary Committee today demanded that Jeff Bezos testify on whether Amazon misled Congress about the data tactics it deploys against rivals
“If the reporting in the Wall Street Journal article is accurate, then statements Amazon made to the Committee about the company’s business practices appear to be misleading, and possibly criminally false or perjurious,”“In light of our ongoing investigation, recent public reporting, and Amazon’s prior testimony before the Committee, we expect you, as Chief Executive Officer of Amazon, to testify before the Committee,” committee leaders added.
An Amazon executive testified to the committee last year that the company does not "use individual seller data to directly compete with them.” Amazon disputed the accuracy of the Journal report, but said it would launch an investigation into the newspaper's findings. Despite the latest letter's bipartisan backing, the move earned a partial rebuke from the office of Judiciary's top Republican, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who notably did not sign onto the missive.
