The CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google will testify before Congress on Wednesday to face questions about anti-trust issues.
The House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee website was updated Saturday with some details about the event, which was originally set to take place Monday but needed to be moved for memorial services honoring the late Rep. John Lewis.
Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai will face questioning starting at noon ET Wednesday. The event is scheduled to take place at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., the notice said.
It doesn't specify whether the CEOs will show up in person or whether they'll attend virtually. The hearing will be live-streamed on YouTube and the government's website.

The session is being held as Congress examines each of the company's competitive practices. It could ultimately lead to new limits on how they operate their businesses.
The high-profile probe has been going on since 2019.
Lawmakers have shown interest in Apple's App Store terms and Google's Play Store practices. Facebook has faced scrutiny surrounding its social media dominance and how it handles user data. Officials have questioned whether Amazon is abusing its power in the e-commerce landscape.
Congress is looking into whether these large companies are using their position to unfairly eliminate smaller, potential competitors.
