Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg calling on the tech billionaire to testify on Capitol Hill after a Facebook whistleblower alleged the company had ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

"After yesterday’s shocking revelations, it’s time for Mark Zuckerberg to come to Capitol Hill, take an oath, and answer to America for how he has sold out our country’s security for China profits," Hawley wrote in a post on X that included images of his letter to Zuckerberg.

In his letter, Hawley lays out allegations made by Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams during a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday. Wynn-Williams served as the director of global public policy at Facebook for almost seven years.

The former Facebook employee claimed that the company deleted the account of a Chinese dissident living in the U.S. after pressure from Beijing and gave the CCP user data. She claims that Meta began briefing the CCP as early as 2015, and said they focused on AI and other forms of "critical emerging technologies."

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Monday urged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to stop trying to silence whistleblowers, after a former employee claimed the company was trying to collect $50,000 for every disparaging statement she made against them.

The letter comes after Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former director of global public policy at Facebook, testified last week that Meta executives have repeatedly “betray[ed] American values” by trying to curry favor with the Chinese government in order to build an $18 billion business in the Asian country.

In the letter Grassley scrutinized Meta’s severance agreement with Wynn-Williams, which his office claimed could violate the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) regulations by not allowing her to receive money for reporting illegal conduct.
