Christopher Wylie, the former Cambridge Analytica employee who blew the whistle on the company's shady business tactics, is coming to DC to meet with lawmakers next week.
Wylie confirmed to CNN on Thursday that he would appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.
"I hope to work with lawmakers to address the national security issues emerging from data misuse on platforms like Facebook," he told CNN. "This goes far beyond the activities of Cambridge Analytica — the security of these platforms is becoming an essential part of protecting democracies from malicious actors."
It's not yet clear whether Republicans will participate in the interviews before the two House panels, though Republican members have been invited to take part, according to congressional aides.
House Intelligence Committee Republicans have concluded their Russia investigation, and their report is currently being declassified by the Executive Branch before it's released publicly.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, has vowed to continue a Democratic investigation into Trump and Russia, and Wylie would be the first witness to appear since Republicans ended their Russia interviews.
"We believe Wylie will further our understanding of Cambridge Analytica's role in the 2016 election, its reported interactions with Russian figures, and how the company used Facebook personal data in their efforts," Schiff said in a statement.
