Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the best person to address the data scandal and therefore should testify in front of lawmakers, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., told CNBC on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Walden, along with Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., called on Zuckerberg to appear before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The panel plans to send a formal letter in the coming days.
“The buck stops with him,” Walden said on “Closing Bell.”
“He’s the right one to come lay out for the American people and for the world, frankly, what happened, what didn’t, what should and shouldn’t happen and then we can decide as policymakers the best course.”
