Google’s top executive has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as Republican concerns mount that the company's signature search engine downplays conservative websites in its results.

Sundar Pichai met on Friday with a group of House lawmakers, including Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, the second-ranking Republican in the chamber, who announced the hearing.

Pichai said after the meeting that he has had "very productive discussions over the last two days" with both Democrats and Republicans. "I look forward to being back," he told the Washington Examiner.

 

His company faced criticism from Senate lawmakers earlier this year when the company declined to send Pichai or another top executive to testify alongside key officials from Facebook and Twitter at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on data privacy.
